Match of the Gay
Football is the world’s game—but for many LGBTQIA+ players and fans, it hasn’t always felt like home.
Match of the Gay opens up the conversation with a panel of voices who are reshaping the pitch, hosted by Zander Murray, Scotland’s first openly gay professional footballer.
Zander will guide an open and honest conversation about courage, visibility, and inclusion in the beautiful game. He is joined by Amy McDonald (former Scotland National Team) and Coinneach MacLeod (known as the Hebridean Baker, with years of experience at FIFA and UEFA) and LEAP Sports, the leading charity promoting inclusion and participation for LGBTQIA+ people in sport.
Part of the Football v Homophobia Scotland campaign the panel will explore challenges, triumphs, and the path toward a more inclusive future in football. Honest, passionate, and inspiring, this panel is for football lovers and changemakers alike.
