Discrimination is an ever-growing problem in football.

Teddington Athletic, a local football team, have one dad who is highlighting the issue.

Simon Bisset worked on a documentary on discrimination which has been produced due to a huge rise in racist and homophobic incidents being reported at stadiums.

The documentary has the backing of UEFA, the European football governing body.

Simon said: "We started making this documentary in the summer of 2019, at a point when racist and homophobic incidents within stadiums were growing at an alarming rate,

"In recent times incidents away from the pitch have come to prominence, but discrimination in all its forms is still ever-present in the sport. It's a subject I feel strongly about and was delighted to get the chance to make a film about it."

The film features interviews with the games biggest stars such as Paul Pogba, Jose Mourninho and Megan Rapinoe.
