Faith communities across Coventry are coming together to celebrate Coventry City Football Club’s promotion to the Premier Division after a 25-year absence. The message “We Are Back” follows a period in which multiple faith groups have observed major festivals, including Easter, Pesach, Eid and Vaisakhi, highlighting shared values and civic pride.
Supporters emphasise football’s role in fostering unity, recalling moments such as the club’s 1987 FA Cup victory as powerful examples of how sport can bring the city together.
Community organisers hope this connection between faith and sport will inspire positive engagement—particularly among young people—by promoting teamwork, respect and a sense of belonging.
Look out for your place of worship flying the Coventry Sky Blues flag, uniting the city with a shared message of togetherness.
