Our History
We are more than a fan group. We are a community that champions the Punjabi values of equality and togetherness.
Football should be for everyone, whatever their faith, colour or background. Over the years the Punjabi Villans have become a recognised voice for diversity in football. We've worked with Aston Villa Football Club, Kick It Out and the Football Supporters' Association to make the game more inclusive.
We bring the flavour of Punjab to matchday with pre-match socials and plenty of good food, and we welcome everyone. From matchday camaraderie to charity work, we celebrate Villa and Punjabi pride on and off the pitch.
Forever in Chardikala.
