Together with Mark Hayes and Emmerson Boyce, we welcomed Sirgut and Azeb from the British Embassy, Addis Ababa to the UK for a programme focused on football, education, safeguarding, and community development.

We met with stakeholders across the professional game to strengthen collaboration, shared learning, and long-term partnership opportunities between the UK and Ethiopia.

Discussions also covered preparations for the Diplomatic Cup this June, the expansion of the She Wins initiative, which tackles gender-based violence, and upcoming referee and grassroots development programmes, with a focus on sustainable, community-led impact.

The visit highlighted the growing role of sport, education, and safeguarding in advancing diplomacy, inclusion, and sustainable international development.
