Together Against Discrimination
Football is for everyone. We might support different teams, but football unites and inspires us.
It is a game with many opinions. But there is one on which we should all agree.
Racism and discrimination is not welcome in our game. So if you hear it, report it - whether in the street, at Cardiff City Stadium or online.
And when you see players taking the knee ahead of the game as a simple and peaceful act of protest this season, please respect their choice.
Because we are all Together Against Discrimination.
Kick-Off
Our sixth home match of the season kicks off at 7:45pm on Tuesday.
The Bluebirds will be wearing black armbands in memory of those who sadly lost their lives in the Aberfan disaster of 1966.
With the disaster taking place 58 years ago, a tribute will be displayed on our stadium screens during the 58th minute of the match.
