As the 2026 football World Cup begins in a few days' time, organisations across Shropshire are coming together to reinforce a simple message: everyone has the right to feel safe at home and in their relationships.

Major sporting events can bring excitement and a sense of community. However, for some people, the home can become more dangerous, as abuse escalates behind closed doors.

Factors that present themselves during sporting events, such as increased substance use, emotional highs and lows, financial pressures, or gambling concerns, can increase the risk of harm for some people.

Domestic abuse is never acceptable and is not caused by football, substance use or stress, but these can be contributing factors. Responsibility always lies with the person choosing to use abusive behaviour.

If you are experiencing abuse, are frightened or unsure about your situation, you are not alone. Find out more here: https://orlo.uk/MH7O4
