Thank you to @YTerriersFC for hosting a fantastic tournament this weekend. Blaze’s Team Divas took home the Vase trophy! Great effort from both our teams and everyone fully enjoyed the night in Leeds afterwards!

We also chat about the vital role @blazefc plays in Jacob’s life, being visible in journalism and some top tips for people hoping to get into the industry.

Also, excuse my croaky voice - we recorded this as I had laryngitis, so I’m a bit… squeaky!

Rupa was a pleasure to be around whenever we saw her, playing in such a great spirit and wonderful company off the pitch.

A beautiful soul, we will miss you.

[Leftfooters FC @Leftfooters]

Today we learnt of the very sad news that one of our players, one of our family has sadly passed away.

Rupa was the very epitome of what the club stood for, a colourful character so full of humour. Those who knew her were richer for it.

Our condolences to her friends and family

[Birmingham Blaze FC @blazefc]

Our marathon Sunday might not have ended in the result we wanted, but another great trip in the @gfsnUK to face @NottmLionsFC.

Huge thanks to @CadentGasLtd whose continued support in LGBTQ football helps teams around the country to play in this wonderful league.

[Birmingham Blaze FC @blazefc]

Everyone here at Blaze stands shoulder to shoulder with Troy Deeney, a man who with his commitment to highlighting social and racial inequalities, makes us proud on and off the pitch.

Racism can have no place in our sport.

[FootballJOE @FootballJOE]

"I got racially abused last night by one of my own fans."

"When you look at the board of the FA and it's all 60-year-old white people, it doesn't affect them."

@T_Deeney speaks out on racism in football

[Birmingham Blaze FC @blazefc]

Thanks so much to the wonderful team at @BirminghamPride for sharing all our details during #LGBTplusHM.

If you'd like to find out more, please don't hesitate to message. When we march this year, you could be us.

[Birmingham Blaze FC @blazefc]

Might not have been Blues' night tonight, but Blaze carry the week on tomorrow evening with our weekly training and free football for all session.

We've been lucky enough to have had some fantastic people join the club since we started these, and you could be the next.

[Birmingham Blaze FC @blazefc]

Great to be using the ticket allocation at @BCFC thanks to their continued brilliant support of Blaze.

Here's hoping the second brings us three points.

[Nathan Clarke @nathanc1999]

At a time when football feels like a hostile place for the LGBTQ+ community - @birminghamblaze have started putting on free training sessions with the aim of getting more people from the community into the sport

A great scheme run by a great bunch 🏳️‍🌈⚽️

[Birmingham Blaze FC @blazefc]

You may have heard JP mention our player who grew up in the same region of the world as Qatar. We could not be prouder that he chose to share his experience with the BBC.

Huge thanks to @LR_Wolstenholme for giving him a platform and amplifying his voice.

[Birmingham Blaze FC @blazefc]

Thank you to @flupton and the Breakfast Show team at @BBCCWR for inviting on co-chair @jpkesseler to speak about his disappointment at England and Wales for backing out of their commitment to wear the One Love captain's armband.

We were also thrilled to have @CllrJohnCotton and @laurenrainbow with us on Wednesday.

A wonderful message that us at Blaze support wholeheartedly.

[Birmingham Labour @BrumLabour]

As the World Cup kicks off this weekend our message is simple. We stand in solidarity with our LGBT+ brothers and sisters across the world. 🏳️‍🌈 @laurenrainbow @CllrJohnCotton @blazefc

[Birmingham Blaze FC @blazefc]

Was a pleasure to have @bengodfrey1 at training on Wednesday to talk to us about the impending World Cup.

Catch us again on @bbcmtd at 18:30 this evening.

[Ben Godfrey @bengodfreybbc]

On @bbcmtd, we’re hearing from players @blazefc about #Qatar2022 #WorldCup2022 and discrimination against #LGBTQ community. Plus how supporters clubs like @VillaAndProud are helping fans as some venues ban showing the games. More 1.30 and 6.30pm @BBCOne @joelycett
