Date published: 13 August 2014


Shehneela Ahmed has been awarded and honoured by British Pakistani Professionals Council for her achievement as the World’s First Asian Female Football Agent for the English FA.

Binat-ul-Muslimeen and British Pakistani Professionals Council (BPPC) awarded Shehneela at the event, which marked the celebration of Pakistan Independence Day.

Shehneela was awarded for her contribution in bringing positive change across the diverse society in the UK.

Shehneela said: “I sincerely would like to thank Sumaira Farrukh, Chairperson of Binat-Ul-Muslimeen and BPPC for nominating me and honouring me with this prestigious award. 

“I especially want to thank my team PlatinumFA. I couldn’t have done it without you guys. This award will always have a place of honour on my wall.

“I am very pleased also because it was one of my childhood dreams to stand in front of so many people, accepting an award which recognises my qualities and achievements. Then, in the years of my unclouded childhood, I couldn’t imagine how interesting my life would be. 

“Of course, I have faced a lot of challenges but I have overcome them and gained outstanding experience.

“I am so grateful for the opportunity to be Britain's First Female Asian Football Agent for the English FA. I consider it a privilege to help sports athletes achieve their dream of becoming tomorrow's heroes.”
