Football brings people together and unites them. Indeed football is a universal language: it is widely spoken and has more followers than any religion. The Element of unpredictability makes football fascinating. Despite all controversies around World Cup 22, the world has come together and celebrated a month of excitement. 

This episode is hosted by Mohamed Omar with panellists  Colin Parker, Rahwa and Darlington Okpebholo Ray. They share their passion for football, football and mental health and  Football Freedom Project as a great example of a football community social development programme with and for refugees and people seeking asylum.

A massive thanks to Dr Ben Plimpton and Mental Health Foundation for providing us with a podcast room.
