Football and rugby union will join together to support a campaign helping  to raise awareness of issues faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) fans and players this weekend.

Rainbow flags will feature at Premier League fixtures, while referees will wear rainbow-coloured laces.

Top-level rugby union game in England and Wales will also back the campaign.  More
