BBC News, Hertfordshire

The chairman of an anti-discrimination charity who has been recognised in the New Year Honours says he is proud of progress to tackle racism in football but more work is still needed.

Sanjay Bhandari, chair of Kick It Out (KIO) and has been appointed MBE for services to sport.

The charity, which started in 1993, has been headed up by Mr Bhandari, of Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, since 2019.

He said more supporters were “calling out racism”, which he saw as progress.

“I am humbled and honoured to receive an award like this,” he said.

“It is a recognition of the team that I have a privilege to lead. This is just as much a recognition of that fantastic team, as it is of my small contribution to it.”

Mr Bhandhari, 55, said he had seen a drop in racism at matches.

“For the first 20 years of watching football, I heard racist chants every single match,” he said.

“Now, I can’t remember the last time I heard those particular chants.

“We think that there is less racism and discrimination inside grounds than 30 years ago. We feel KIO has made a positive impact on that. We feel more confident that people want to report incidents, and are less tolerant of discrimination.”

As a volunteer chair, Mr Bhandari is expected to commit no more than 24 days a year to the work of KIO, yet over the last three years he has contributed over 100 days per year

Mr Bhandari has has given evidence at DCMS select committees looking into the challenges of managing online hate.

He has also led football’s collective efforts to bring forward recommendations for the Online Safety Bill.

“There are incidents of racism from crowds to players, like we have seen this week, but thankfully they are isolated incidents; one or two people, not whole crowds,” he said.

“It’s still not good enough. People are now calling it out, which didn’t happen 30 years ago and there is consequences for those actions. That in of itself is progress.”

‘Want to change game’s culture’

Despite progress in tackling racism, Mr Bhandari said the group had seen a rise in other forms of discrimination in football.

“We want to change the culture of the game, so it’s more welcoming to under-represented communities, focussing on homophobic and misogynistic chanting, the rise of Islamophobia and anti-Semitism,” he said.

KIO recently secured a major sponsorship agreement with Sky Sports, guaranteeing it £3m over three years.

“I wanted to bring more partnership with commercial organisations that share our values and ambitions,” said Mr Bhandari.

“We want to make football a game where everyone feels they belong. That’s our mission.”

Mr Bhandari said he planned to take his mother – who turns 96 in several weeks – with him to the palace to receive his honour.
