About The MFSA

The Muslim Football Supporters Association (MFSA) aims to support and represent Muslim football supporters’ groups through a national platform that strengthens collective advocacy, increases visibility and celebrates the positive contribution of Muslim fans to the game.

The MFSA works alongside The Football Supporters’ Association (FSA) and Kick It Out. We also aim to work alongside wider representative bodies, including the FA, to ensure Muslim supporters are meaningfully represented within supporter structures and that the diversity of football fanbases across the UK is accurately reflected.

The MFSA was founded following a need for greater national coordination and unity among Muslim football supporters, particularly in standing up to discrimnation. The MFSA was established to enable Muslim fans across the UK to easily identify and connect with their club’s Muslim supporters group, support fans with accessibility to games, and provide guidance for the creation of new supporters' groups where none currently exist.

For many within the Muslim community, concerns about matchday environments and the potential for discrimination have acted as barriers to participation. The MFSA exists to address these challenges and to provide a unified and credible voice for Muslim supporters within the game.

What we stand for

Breaking Barriers

We challenge discrimination in football, creating spaces where everyone feels welcome, no matter their background.

We challenge discrimination in football, creating spaces where everyone feels welcome, no matter their background. Islamophobia, racism and exclusion have no place in the game, and the MFSA actively works to call it out, whether that's abuse in the stands, barriers to matchday facilities or the everyday experience of feeling like an outsider at your own club. We work with supporters, clubs and governing bodies to push for meaningful change and ensure Muslim fans are treated with the same respect as any other supporter.
