It’s the month of Ramadan. A time where Muslims around the world abstain from eating and drinking from sunrise to sunset. But football has not always been the most accommodating to this practice. In this week's TFOF episode, the VERSUS team speak with the Founder and CEO of Nujum Sports, Ebadur Rahman about the work he and his team do to help Muslim athletes flourish on and off the pitch. We also talk about football’s relationship with Ramadan, the work being done to improve the sport as a safe space for Muslims and what the future holds for the next generation of Muslim ballers. ‘The Future of Football’ is a podcast from VERSUS bringing you closer to the people, the stories and the ideas shaping the future of the game.
