Clive Lewis has put down an early day motion in parliament backing England football manager Gareth Southgate and his players for standing up to racism and taking the knee.
The motion will call upon prime minister Boris Johnson to make a statement on anti-racism in football ahead of the Euro 2020 kick-off on Friday.
Lewis, also expressed solidarity with black Norwich City and Ireland striker Adam Idah, who spoke out against Hungarian supporters who hurled abuse at his Irish team for taking the knee before their 0-0 draw in Budapest on Tuesday night.
