After conquering music world, rapper Stormzy targets racial inequality in football
Premier League clubs Manchester United and Fulham are among the organizations that are partnering with rapper Stormzy’s Merky FC to improve diversity and representation at all levels of the football industry. The program was announced following a report commissioned by Adidas and the FARE Network which found only 6.7% of senior roles in football are taken by someone who identifies as having Black or mixed-Black heritage.
Merky FC will see clubs, as well as organizations like Adidas and Sky Sports partnering to provide multi-year, paid professional opportunities in the football industry for people of Black heritage between the ages 18 to 24. “If you can see that representation on the pitch with all the players, then it should at least be backed up by people in positions of power, positions of influence outside of being an actual footballer,” said Stormzy. “Hopefully with what we’re doing we can drive a change.
