As chair of Oxfordshire FA’s Inclusion Action Group, Yasmin will help improve inclusion and accessibility in football across the county.

She will support the organisation’s equality, diversity and inclusion ambassadors, focusing on growing disability and women’s football and engaging with communities from diverse ethnic backgrounds.

Oxfordshire FA hope her experience in community engagement and programmes will help support the association’s efforts to make football more accessible and encourage participation among underrepresented groups.
