Over the years, he has worked closely with a wide range of stakeholders and partners, contributing to the development and refinement of their organisational strategies.

His track record includes leading and supporting numerous successful football teams across London, giving him a deep understanding of varied coaching and training approaches. He has also gained valuable international experience through participation in major European youth tournaments, including the Dana Cup, Cup No.1, IberCup Estoril, and IberCup Scandinavia.

In addition to his role as Director, Zahid’s leadership has been central to shaping the Camden Youth Football League—now operating as London Grassroots Sports CIC—which supports more than 100 local grassroots teams in the under-7 to under-13 age groups.

Beyond football, Zahid brings over 20 years of experience as a freelance Digital Producer, working with major blue-chip companies.
