Hull City 0-4 Chelsea: Fan group condemns homophobic chanting as ‘stain on game’ after arrests made

Chelsea Pride, the club’s official LGBTQ+ supporter group, said in a statement: “Tonight, homophobic chanting was once again directed at our supporters. This is utterly unacceptable.

“We acknowledge that Hull City made stadium announcements, confirmed CCTV was being monitored, and that arrests have been made. Action matters. Accountability matters. Consequences matter.

“But let us be clear, the fact that this chant is still being heard in 2026 is a stain on our game.”

Premier League club Chelsea beat their Championship opponents 4-0 to reach the fifth round.

Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior said he had been unaware of the chanting as he was focused on the game, but added: “Any discriminatory language in any form about anything is unacceptable, so I hope it gets dealt with.”

Rosenior continued: “The fourth official mentioned something to me, but I was so focused on the game. I honestly don’t know what’s happening.”

Hull City manager Sergej Jakirovic said: “This is not a place for this, for sure, in the stadium and also in public as well. This is not good.

“The stadium is not a place for that and this is the reason why they have been arrested.”
