The Tottenham Hotspur defender has spoken publicly about this groundbreaking moment, highlighting its personal and cultural impact.\n\nIn a press conference, Spence discussed what it means to represent England while openly practicing his Islamic faith. He emphasized the honor of joining the national squad and the importance of being a role model for young Muslim athletes aspiring to play at the highest level.\n\nSpence's journey to the England team has been marked by steady progress and standout performances. After beginning his career at Middlesbrough, he gained prominence during a loan spell at Nottingham Forest, where his skillful play as a right-back caught the attention of national selectors. His call-up is a direct result of his dedication and talent on the pitch.\n\nThe significance of Spence's inclusion extends beyond football, as it promotes diversity and inclusion in a sport often seen as lacking representation. As the first openly Muslim player in the England men's setup, he breaks barriers and sets a precedent for future generations, encouraging a more welcoming environment for athletes of all backgrounds.\n\nDuring his remarks, Spence expressed pride in his identity and gratitude for the opportunity to wear the England jersey. He hopes his presence will inspire others to embrace their beliefs while pursuing their dreams, fostering unity through sport.\n\nThe football community has responded positively to this milestone, with many praising Spence for his courage and the England team for embracing change. This call-up is viewed as a progressive step in English football, reflecting the evolving values and demographics of the game.\n\nAs Spence prepares for potential involvement with the national team, he remains focused on contributing to the squad's success. His story underscores the power of football to bridge cultural divides and celebrate individual heritage.\n\nBased on reporting from 90min EN Feed.","news","Djed Spence opens up about becoming the first openly Muslim footballer called up to the England men's team, reflecting on this milestone and its significance for diversity in the sport.","327057382561550337","0","2025-09-05T09:25:40Z","djed-spence-shares-thoughts-on-historic-england-call-up-as-first-openly-muslim","90min EN Feed","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.90min.com\u002Fdjed-spence-opens-up-england-first-ever-muslim-footballer?utm_source=RSS","326222711682502656","England",[51,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62],"326257613643714560","326257695948541952","326257760947671040","326257814404075520","326257575609765888","326257546392244224","326257808251031552","326257546094448640","326222707169431552",[52,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72],"Hassania Agadir","Mendrisio","Menemen FK","Hastings United","Allerød","Nottingham Forest","Middlesbrough","Tottenham","Anderlecht","Djed Spence Shares Thoughts on Historic England Call-Up as First Openly Muslim Player",[75,109,129,159],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":43,"excerpt":76,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":77,"leagueId":78,"leagueName":79,"matchId":46,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":80,"slug":81,"sourceName":82,"sourceURL":83,"teamId":84,"teamName":85,"teamIds":86,"teamNames":97,"title":108},"Reports from England indicate Manchester City midfielder Reijnders could be on the move this summer, sparking a transfer tug-of-war between Real Madrid and Juventus for the 27-year-old Dutchman.","327184844788338689","326135625054949376","Premier League","2026-05-06T02:25:04Z","real-madrid-and-juventus-enter-transfer-battle-for-manchester-city-s-reijnders","Fútbol","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.mundodeportivo.com\u002Ffutbol\u002Freal-madrid\u002F20260505\u002F1004179159\u002Fbatalla-real-madrid-juventus-jugador-city.html","326257546258026496","Manchester City",[84,87,88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,51,96,62],"326222712496197632","326257565535047680","326257539542945792","326222712143876096","326257537596788736","326257590545682432","326257610309242880","326257747022581760","326257539333230592","326257661500723200",[85,98,99,100,101,102,103,104,105,106,52,107,72],"Netherlands","Real Madrid","Juventus","Portugal","FC Porto","Portland Timbers","Club Queretaro","Portimonense","AC Milan","Italy","Real Madrid and Juventus Enter Transfer Battle for Manchester City’s Reijnders",{"awayTeamId":110,"awayTeamName":111,"body":-1,"category":43,"excerpt":112,"homeTeamId":90,"homeTeamName":101,"id":113,"leagueId":29,"leagueName":30,"matchId":114,"matchName":115,"publishedAt":80,"slug":116,"sourceName":82,"sourceURL":117,"teamId":84,"teamName":85,"teamIds":118,"teamNames":123,"title":128},"326222712592666624","Congo DR","Manchester City star Phil Foden is close to signing a new contract until 2030, ending speculation of a summer exit.
