West Ham United can confirm that the Club will be admitting the charge issued by The Football Association, following the conduct of supporters at the Premier League away fixture at Chelsea on Monday 3 February 2025.
Homophobic chanting, which in this case amounted to the commission of a criminal offence, is not consistent with the values and beliefs of West Ham United and the vast majority of the Club’s supporters. Those identified will, in addition to any criminal charges they face, be issued with Club bans.
The Club unequivocally condemns all forms of offensive and discriminatory conduct and remains committed to working with The FA and all relevant stakeholders to eradicate such behaviour to ensure a safe and inclusive environment for all supporters.
