RELIGIOUS NEWS AGENCY (REDNA) – Muslim and Jewish teenage girls played football together at Arsenal Emirates Stadium yesterday, in a match to promote diversity and inclusion in the run up to the women’s world cup in July.
According to Jewishnews they trained on the Arsenal Community Hub pitch with the club’s female coaches, side-by-side.
The game was organised by the Professional Footballers’ Association, Faith Forum for London and Aliya Azam, Head of Science at Al-Sadiq and Al-Zahra Schools.
She said the day opened the door to a deeper understanding between the girls, which was vitally important in countering negative stories.
