British-Pakistani world boxing champion Amir Khan and British-Indian award winning artist Jaz Dhami joined forces to show their support of the hugely anticipated India versus Pakistan football friendly fixture at the boxer’s home turf in Bolton at Reebok Stadium.
“I will be attending the Derby County fixture, and I will be honoured with the task of bringing on the Pakistani team to show my support to this great football fixture and I wish both teams the beat of luck,” Amir said.
I am excited to get involved and support the Clash of the Titans tour. India and Pakistan are primarily noted for their cricketing abilities and this tour will give the UK sports enthusiasts the opportunity to see these two big nations don their football boots and show what they have on the pitch,” Jaz Dhami said.
The FA’s Ambassador Brendon Batson also expressed his support of the Clash of the Titans tour.
“I have worked closely with the Asian community for several years at the FA, helping to build bridges and lending support so that the Asian community may become more involved in the beautiful game. This fixture will hopefully offer further encouragement for Asian kids across the UK to put on their boots and prove that football is a universal and inclusive sport. There are many opportunities for Asian kids to play at the highest level possible which this fixture clearly demonstrates,” Brendon said.
