  • How many football teams can lay claim to a league and cup double in their first season of competition? Not even Real Madrid or Manchester City can hope for the sort of immediate success that Kawala FC have had.

The article from MSN discusses the Somali community's impact on football in Birmingham, England. It highlights the story of the Somali Stars, a football team formed by young Somali immigrants who have found a sense of belonging and community through the sport.

The team's success is attributed to the dedication of its coaches, many of whom are former players, and the support from local community leaders and organizations. This grassroots movement has not only fostered football talent but also community spirit, pride, and a positive outlet for the youth.
