For the 3rd season running the team from Nujum Sports have donated Ramadan packs to members of both our men's and women's 1st teams. Further strengthening the relationship between our football club and Nujum Sports.

Nujum have partnered with the Hamlet for a number of years and were advisors when we created our new prayer room inside one of our old squash courts at Champion Hill. 

Nujum are committed to building an environment & culture that actively supports Muslin Athletes, at all levels, throughout their organisation and the sports industry. 

The Hamlet signed the Muslim Athlete Charter in 2023 becoming the 1st Non League football club to sign the charter. 

Ebadur Rahman, CEO and founder of Nujum Sports had this to say when he dropped off our players Ramadan packs this week, "We’re incredibly proud at Nujum to be working alongside Dulwich Hamlet F.C. to deliver Ramadan packs that directly support Muslim players and staff during the holy month. As the first non-league signatory of the Muslim Athlete Charter, this partnership goes beyond words, it’s about taking practical steps to ensure athletes feel seen, supported, and valued throughout Ramadan."

Club EDI officer and striker Danny Mills who has worked closely with Nujum since taking on his EDI role at Champion Hill shared his thoughts "Dulwich Hamlet FC are delighted to once again receive Ramadan packs for our men’s and women’s teams from Nujum Sports.

Since signing the Muslim Athlete Charter, we have been proud to work closely with Nujum to ensure we are doing everything possible to create and maintain an inclusive and supportive environment for our Muslim players.

Ramadan is the holiest month in the Islamic calendar, and we are proud to stand alongside our players during this special and significant time."

Finally midfielder Amadou Kassarate who received his pack before training on Thursday alongside shared his thoughts on growing up as a Muslim playing football and how the game has developed and how our multi faith room here at Champion Hill helps him practice his faith whilst at the club: "I’m incredibly grateful to have received support from Nujum Sports every Ramadan for a number of years now. As a player observing Ramadan, their work has played a huge role in helping integrate fasting and football not just at grassroots level, but nationally across the game.

When I was younger, fasting in a football environment was a real challenge. There wasn’t much awareness or understanding around Ramadan within clubs. I used to fast quietly and not tell anyone, worried that it might affect selection or be misunderstood. It often felt like something I had to manage alone.

Now, the landscape has completely changed and organisations like Nujum Sports are a big reason why.

Today, football clubs and sporting institutions are far more educated about Ramadan. There is greater understanding of what fasting involves, how it affects training and match preparation, and how players can be supported properly. Even the Premier League now has established Ramadan protocols, which shows how far the game has come.

Nujum have been at the heart of that progress. Beyond supporting athletes individually, they host events and workshops that educate both members and external organisations about the realities of being a professional Muslim athlete. That education is powerful, it builds understanding, removes stigma, and creates inclusive environments where players don’t feel they have to hide their faith.

One initiative that has personally meant a lot to me is the opening of the multi faith room at Champion Hill. It’s a space I use regularly, and it reflects a genuine commitment to inclusion and respect for players of all faiths at our football club.

Every Ramadan, Nujum also provide support packs, which I always look forward to. Previous editions have included essentials like prayer mats, flasks, dates and other thoughtful items that genuinely help during the month. This year’s edition im delighted with it as it’s a collaboration with Sunna Musk, my favourite fragrance brand so I’m delighted with it."
