The Football Black List was delighted to welcome Barclays as the first-ever title sponsor of a dedicated category for the Football Black List 2025, marking a significant milestone in the initiative’s ongoing growth and impact.
As part of the partnership, the Barclays Community and Grassroots Award celebrates individuals driving football forward at a local level. From coaches and volunteers to organisers and community leaders, the category recognises those whose dedication creates opportunities, inspires participation and strengthens communities through the game.
The partnership reflects a shared commitment between Barclays and the Football Black List to champion inclusion, recognise excellence and shine a light on the people making a meaningful difference across football. By supporting this dedicated award, Barclays is helping to elevate the stories of grassroots football’s unsung heroes and ensure their contributions receive the recognition they deserve.
