Abstract

As part of the 2014 Football People Event weeks sponsored by FARE, the Centre for the Study of Football and its Communities facilitated a Roundtable event, hosted at the Etihad stadium on 22nd October, addressing the positive inclusion of refugee and migrant communities in and through football. Participants included football clubs, local authorities, football trusts, governing bodies, grassroots community organisations and academics. The Roundtable event marked the launch of a six month research project aimed at developing this toolkit. The research consisted of a series of interviews and focus groups with a range of stakeholders in three major UK cities, Glasgow, London and Manchester, all of which are important centres of football and which have been shaped by a rich history of migration.
