The AFA is set to become a momentous event in the awareness and development of Asians in Football. The AFA is a great opportunity to bring together decision makers and the people who we expect to make an impact in football, further complimenting this ever popular sport within the UK. It will provide a fantastic networking opportunity for those wishing to push their careers to another level.

Football is an integral part of the community in the UK. The recent growth of Asians in Football is evident to see from owners, backroom staff to players and organisations encouraging participation and support of Asians in Football. This impact is clear to see through players like Michael Chopra, Zesh Rehman, Danny Batth and Kashif Siddiqi. The global power of South Asians in football is also clear to see with owners such as Tony Fernandes, Laxmi Mittal and Venkrath Rao.

There are many organisations assisting in the development of Asians in Football such as, The FA, Kick It Out, Sporting Equals in addition to various football foundations and forums. It is therefore imperative to acknowledge and credit individuals and organisations for their efforts within the game, in terms of active participation and positive influence.
