Glenavon FC has launched the #NotInOurName campaign to end violence against women and girls. The initiative honors Natalie McNally, a member of the Glenavon community who was murdered in December 2022, and remembers the 29 other women killed in Northern Ireland since 2020.
What is the campaign about?
The campaign supports the NIFL’s #EnoughIsEnough initiative, with Glenavon players-both male and female-pledging to speak out against abuse. Manager Michael O’Connor emphasized the club’s commitment, urging fans to join in ensuring Mourneview Park remains a space of respect.
Why is Glenavon FC taking this stand?
Natalie McNally’s family are part of the Glenavon community, and the club wants to honor her memory while addressing a broader issue. The campaign video, shown before today’s home game, calls for collective action to end violence.
What’s next for Glenavon FC?
The club’s next fixture is at home against Newington Youth on 2026-09-19. Fans are encouraged to show their support for the #NotInOurName campaign during the match.
