Jason Mohammad is one of the main figures in sports broadcasting. The presenter and journalist, 48, is the current host of Final Score on Saturday afternoons on BBC One. He also has his own successful radio show on BBC Radio Wales and can currently be seen presenting at the Commonwealth Games.
Cardiff-born, Jason, has always been a proud Welshman. He regularly posts photos to his social media of events that he has attended in the city, as well as updating fans on his self-titled Academy, which offers students an entry point into the media industry. But how did Jason's own journey in broadcasting begin?
As mentioned, Jason was born and brought up in Cardiff to a Pakistani father and Welsh mother. He is a practicing Muslim. In an interview with The Guardian in 2021, Jason recalled some of the racism that he endured during his childhood. He said: “I was called a ‘Muzzie’ and the P-word and remember walking home from school one day and a kid spitting at me for no reason. That’s just what it was like back then for someone like me – the only Muslim kid in my school, one of very few Mohammads on my side of Cardiff, in a hard place where there were lots of racists around."
