Middlesex FA is delighted to announce that it has signed the Muslim Athlete Pledge to demonstrate its commitment to equality and diversity for all.

With an increase of more Muslim players in the profession, as well as support from Muslim fans, Middlesex FA sought to sign the Muslim Athlete Pledge to listen, learn, and adopt good practice to help our players flourish and our fans feel loved and supported.

The Pledge is a commitment and start to recognising Muslim needs in the sport, and a check list addressing Muslim players’ needs. This Pledge is part of our wider work around equality and diversity and an important aspect for us to understand, grow and adopt good practice.

The Pledge is the beginning of a journey to be fully accredited with the Nujum Sports Muslim Athlete Charter, which will help us strengthen our voice and zero tolerance towards any form of discrimination.

Daniel Perkins, Middlesex FA Inclusion Development Officer, said: “We believe this is a positive step for Middlesex FA and integral to our work with supporting players. By understanding their faith and cultural needs, we can better position ourselves as a County FA, as well as making everyone involved in the game feel valued and appreciated."
