Hawzah News Agency - (Leicester - UK) - Over 500 mosque leaders and young people from across Britain gathered at the King Power Stadium in Leicester on Saturday 12 October to hear from young people and experts on how mosques can better engage with an increasingly disenfranchised youth through football and other initiatives.

Speaking at the national ‘Our Mosques Our Future’ conference, MCB Secretary General Harun Khan said, “If we truly believe that our youth are our future, then surely it’s time our mosques become more serious about listening, involving and investing in our young people.”

Football was hailed as a means of revolutionising the mosque experience for young people in particular, with contributions.
