FA calls the Hillsborough-related chants ‘abhorrent’

The Hillsborough disaster is a dark spot on

and in fact football’s history as 97 of Liverpool fans perished in a stadium crush during an FA Cup clash against Sheffield Wednesday in the disaster.

Now it seems that there have been an increase in the disparaging chants related to the incident over the past few months, especially during Liverpool games. The FA has now condemned such actions meanwhile promising to work with the survivors’ families to work out a solution.

Several Premier League clubs and entities like Pep Guardiola and the

football club have issued statements following their matches against Liverpool condemning the actions of such fans and chants.

"We are very concerned about the rise of abhorrent chants in stadiums that are related to the Hillsborough disaster and other football related tragedies,"

one statement said.

"These chants are highly offensive and are deeply upsetting for the families, friends and communities who have been impacted by these devastating events, and we strongly condemn this behaviour.

"We support clubs and fans who try to stamp out this behaviour from our game.

"We also support the excellent work of the survivor groups who engage with stakeholders across football to help educate people about the damaging and lasting effects that these terrible chants can have."
