The Football Black List has recognised England international Jess Carter and Premier League attackers Eberechi Eze and Alex Iwobi for their contributions to the game. The list celebrates influential figures from the Black community in British football. Carter, who plays for Gotham FC, appears in the Cyrille Regis players category alongside Arsenal attacker Eze and Fulham midfielder Iwobi, according to Sky Sports.
Burnley manager Scott Parker and Port Vale manager Darren Moore also feature on the 2025 list for their coaching and management roles. The initiative, founded in 2008 by Leon Mann and Rodney Hinds, highlights achievement across the industry, including administration, media, and grassroots sectors. This year's recipients include individuals such as Professional Game Match Officials Limited coach Akil Howson and the FA's director of diversity, Edleen John, per The Guardian. A panel of experts from the Black community and the football industry selected the winners from a longlist of nominations.
