Podcast #045 - Faith, Football & Family by Bachar Houli

In this episode, I review Bachar Houli: Faith, Football and Family, co-written by Bachar Houli and Waleed Aly. This powerful memoir chronicles Houli’s journey as the first Muslim to play in the AFL, breaking barriers and integrating his faith into the elite sport. From practising prayer during games to fostering cultural understanding among teammates, Bachar’s story is one of resilience, faith, and leadership. As a practising Muslim and AFL enthusiast, I found this book deeply inspiring. Join me as I explore Bachar’s incredible impact on Australian sport, faith, and community. A must-listen for fans of football and diversity!
