Diversity Awards originated from an idea of Fouad Afallah. As an avid sports supporter, he observed that visibility and recognition of diverse athletes, mainly from multicultural backgrounds, was mostly lacking.

As far as Fouad was concerned, this had to change and that has resulted in a diverse group of people who, with him, make his dream come true by organizing the annual Diversity Awards gala.

The organization behind Diversity Awards is made up of people who care about the sports community and stand for a diverse and inclusive society!
