The Ulster Council of the GAA, Irish Football Association and Belfast Giants have joined forces to support the Unite against Hate campaign.

During the forthcoming weekend, players, managers and fans will endorse the campaign. The Unite anthem and call will be played at all grounds and wristbands distributed to the public. Ryan Feeney, Community Development Manager, Ulster GAA said: "Partnership is key to building better community relations at all levels in society and Ulster GAA are committed to playing our part in the Unite against Hate campaign. Ulster GAA will continue to work alongside the IFA the other partner groups to promote the message of tolerance and respect across the community". Michael Boyd IFA Head of Community Relations said: “We all have a responsibility to challenge hate. It is great to be standing alongside our friends in the GAA and other organisations, showing that sport is united against hate”. The Sporting Weekend will be launched by local comedian and the Unite against Hate Ambassador Tim McGarry in Stormont on Friday, 15 October.
