Taking place on 3 December, the Muslim Sports Foundation ‘Muslim Sports Awards 2024‘ will recognise and celebrate Muslim grassroots, community, amateur and professional sporting talent.
We are proud to be supporting the awards by sponsoring the ‘Ally of the Year’ award. This award recognises persons or organisations from outside the Muslim community who have shown exceptional support, comprehension and cooperation in advancing unity and cultivating positive connections with the Muslim sports community.
Speaking on England Athletics’ sponsorship, CEO Chris Jones said:
As sports, athletics and running are some of the most diverse, so it is with great pride that we show our support for the Awards as a whole, and especially the ‘Ally of the Year’ category. Our core values at England Athletics are integrity, inclusivity, fun and inspiration, and we are excited to recognise individuals or organisations who put diversity and inclusion at the forefront of their minds and their purpose.”
The awards will take place at the iconic Edgbaston Stadium just a stones throw away from the home of England Athletics in Birmingham – a fantastic multicultural centre of the United Kingdom. The nominations process for the awards has now closed, however the shortlists will shortly be revealed.
