The Scotland Women’s head coach, Anna Signeul, was inducted into the Show Racism the Red Card Hall of Fame at a ceremony at the Scottish Parliament, attended by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, Minister for Public Health and Sport Aileen Campbell and members of the Women’s National Team.

Since taking up her post as the Women’s National Team Coach Anna has made a significant contribution to women’s football in Scotland.

She has supported the Show Racism the Red Card campaign through events held for young people at Hampden Park and educating them about the importance of non-discriminatory behaviour towards people because of their skin colour, nationality, culture or religion.

She joins a long and distinguished list of football stars and celebrities who have made an outstanding contribution to the charity, including former Scotland managers Craig Brown and Alex McLeish, and current England manager Gareth Southgate.

Show Racism the Red Card aims to raise awareness of women’s football and put positive role models in the spotlight for young people to look up to.
