    This is the third year the EFL have used the rainbow ball campaign

    Puma's Rainbow ball will return to the English Football League as part of an on-going campaign against discrimination and homophobia.

    The special edition rainbow ball was introduced in 2024 to mark LGBTQ+ History Month and will be used at every EFL game from 20 February until 1 March.

    Manufacturers Puma will make a donation to Football v Homophobia for every goal scored with their rainbow ball across the Championship, League One and League Two.

    The donations will help support education against homophobia and promote inclusion across the season.

    The EFL have released a video, external to coincide with the campaign which features a Preston North End fan who was charged with a hate crime following homophobic chanting during an FA Cup fixture against Chelsea.

    The rainbow ball will also feature in EFL partner EA Sports' FC 26 video game.

    "The rainbow ball is a powerful symbol of the values we uphold across the EFL all season long," EFL chief executive officer Trevor Birch said.

    "It not only reflects our longstanding commitment to ensuring the League is representative of all its diverse communities, but also reminds us that we all have a role to play in creating an environment in which everyone feels they truly belong."
