'Like that of the Rainbow Laces campaign, The FA’s message is simple: homophobia, like all forms of discrimination, is unacceptable,' an FA statement said.
The campaign is supported by Stonewall, who are the biggest organization in Europe who fight for equality of Gays, Lesbians and Bi Sexuals.
James Taylor from Stonewall said: "This weekend football players and clubs up and down the country are lacing up to show their support for kicking homophobia out of football.
"We're delighted to have the support of Arsenal, Manchester City, the backing of the Premier League, the FA and many others this weekend to help raise awareness of homophobia in football and the need to tackle it."
A strong worded Wenger was quoted saying:
"The sport is taking responsibility so perhaps our sport can be ahead of the trend in society,” he said. “In this aspect I don’t think we are but at least we support it and I think it’s important.
“I believe that we have a responsibility because people look at our game and see what kind of values we support. The fight against homophobia and any discrimination is very important and we have that responsibility.
“In some values, we are in front of normal society [and] with some we are a bit behind compared to what is the trend of society. This is one where maybe we are a bit behind and we have to work on it, of course.
“Any discrimination I'm completely against. [Should women] train football teams, I'm for [that happening], if they are good enough. For me the only thing that is important is competence.”
More than 100,000 pairs of rainbow laces were distributed across the country.
