Millwall Romans and Pride will be taking part in London’s Pride March 2025 this Saturday.
Millwall Romans play in the London Unity League and were formed as the London Romans in 2006, playing in north London.
Shortly after they were incorporated by Millwall’s Community Trust and moved south of the river last year.
The London Unity League is an amateur football league based in the capital, designed to unite LGBTQI+ footballers and their allies in a competitive yet friendly, sporting environment.
Millwall Romans and Millwall Pride are one of the only clubs in the UK with two LGBTQ teams.
London Pride March brings together 500 groups, including LGBTQ+ community organisations, businesses, and partners, with 35,000 participants marching in solidarity.
The parade is led by LGBTQ+ community groups celebrating significant milestones and anniversaries, alongside distinguished supporters, showcasing the rich history and continuing progress of London's diverse LGBTQ+ communities.
This year, the Parade runs from Hyde Park Corner, through Piccadilly Circus, down Haymarket and along Cockspur Street to Trafalgar Square, culminating at Whitehall Place.
Andy Dolan, Millwall Pride Manager said: “I’ve been doing it for nearly ten years now and I remember the first time where you have people cheering you for three hours and it’s very life affirming and transformative.
“The reason I keep organising it is we have new young people who have had really tough experiences and it’s really meaningful for them.”
