The Football Black List Regional Celebration will arrive in the capital on Wednesday 17th December 2025, taking place at the iconic Brixton House.
Delivered in partnership with The FA, the event will recognise and celebrate Black achievement across London’s football community — from grassroots and community champions to leaders driving progress in the professional game.
The regional celebration series shines a light on individuals and organisations making a difference in their local areas, complementing the annual Football Black List National Celebration, which honours contributions from across the UK football industry.
The London event follows successful regional celebrations in Liverpool and Bristol earlier in 2025, continuing the mission to showcase the depth of talent and impact within Black communities throughout the game.
