external-linkSaturday sees the official launch of a historic "first of its kind" Muslim athletes' charter - an idea devised by Rahman, who previously worked for the Football Association. "Having worked in sport, I am well aware of the difficulties being able to practice my religion," Rahman told BBC Sport. Even before its release, five Premier League clubs and a further 15 from the EFL have pledged to support the charter. "The charter will be extremely helpful because it guarantees Muslim athletes what their rights are. "I feel now I have a community that supports me, I don't feel alone," she told BBC Sport.
