The FA has announced the launch of the second phase of its 'Bringing Opportunities to Communities' campaign, as part of a drive to increase representation of Asian communities in football.
The new strand of the campaign focuses on the importance of 'role models' to give those from Asian backgrounds a growing voice within the game, and comes alongside a short film featuring Swansea City's Yan Dhanda, referee Lisa Rashid, England Women’s deaf futsal player Lucindha Lawson and Charlton Athletic Women’s manager Riteesh Mishra.
It is hoped that the film will disprove outdated stereotypes and provide motivation for those who want to follow in theirs and other role models’ footsteps.
