AFC Bournemouth AFC Bournemouth

This weekend AFC Bournemouth are joining the social media boycott, here's how you can still follow all of the action from a big weekend of football.

Why we're joining the boycott

The boycott is in response to the ongoing and sustained discriminatory abuse received online by players and many others connected to football.

The Cherries are joining the FA, Premier League, EFL, FA Women’s Super League, FA Women’s Championship, PFA, LMA, PGMOL, Kick It Out and the FSA in boycotting social media.

When the boycott is taking place

The boycott begins at 3pm on Friday 30th April and ends at 11.59pm on Monday 3rd May.

During this time the club we will not be posting anything on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn or TikTok.

Additionally, we will not be posting from our club Academy and Superstore accounts during the boycott.

We have encouraged all of our players - from the first team and across our other squads - as well as staff and club sponsors to join us in the boycott.

How you can follow the Cherries this weekend

Up until 3pm on Friday you will be able to follow team news and build-up to Saturday's match at Wycombe Wanderers as normal.
