The NI Football League is calling on supporters to wear your Statement Shirts this week in support of Action Mental Health.

This Thursday (10 October) marks World Mental Health Day and NIFL is encouraging fans from across all clubs to start the conversation and break the stigma of mental health through the nostalgia of your favourite old shirts.

Fans are encouraged to wear their favourite retro or classic Irish League shirt to work, at home or at the this week’s games to show their support for the campaign.

Keep an eye out for photographers at games this weekend (Saturday 12 October) or send us pictures of your favourite shirts through the @OfficialNIFL social media accounts as we’ll be sharing the best photos and the best shirts throughout the week!

This year the NI Football League announced Action Mental Health as the league’s charity partner and to find out more about the work and support offered, visit www.amh.org.uk
