Jaz Dhami helps local community to support FA's 'Get Into Football' campaign

When he is not recording, this Handsworth raised British Asian singer/musician is taking time out of his busy schedule to help his local community Get Into Football, supporting The FA's national ongoing campaign, by partnering with the BCFA and Aston Villa FC community coaches in workshops in and around Birmingham. The workshops will enable children from the Asian community to engage in an educational session designed to help break down barriers in football and open doors.

To further Jaz's involvement in the game he will be embarking on a FA Level 1 coaching course which will enable Jaz to continue his proactive work of engaging with the Asian community and making a positive impact in raising the profile of football.

Jaz Dhami said 'I am very much looking forward to taking part in these workshops to help promote football within the Asian community. Football is a huge game, which I follow closely and dependent on my schedule I try to catch as many games as I can as nothing beats watching football first hand from the terraces. However it's a shame that Asians are still fairly invisible within it. Hopefully through these workshops and through the work that I am doing with Aston Villa, I will be able to play my part in encouraging my community to get involved'
