A man who claimed bosses at Liverpool football club had rejected his job application due to racial discrimination has had his case thrown out by a tribunal.
Asad Farooq had applied for the "high-pressure" role of first team operations officer, which involved supporting the day-to-day activities of the team in November 2022.
Mr Farooq, from Birmingham, was not shortlisted for interview and later claimed "unconscious bias" against his British Asian heritage meant he was not taken seriously.
However, Liverpool successfully argued that his application was dismissed simply due to his lack of experience – and told the tribunal there was "no evidence whatsoever that race played any part at all".
