Mani Djazmi is a British-Iranian sports journalist and radio presenter best known for his broadcasting on the BBC. He is renowned for his interest in Middle Eastern football and he has interviewed high-profile sporting people such as Iranian footballing icon Ali Daei and Fulham F.C.'s owner American-Pakistani owner Shahid Khan.

Born in Tehran, Iran in 1980, he later moved to England at the age of four, initially on a short-term basis to undergo a sight-saving operation which was ultimately unsuccessful. As a result of his blindness, in 2004, he was allowed to become the first male journalist to be allowed into any kind of women's football in Iran. [1]

He often broadcasts on the BBC World Service and covers football for the Middle East region. He is also the presenter of In Touch on BBC Radio 4. [2]
