Launching in October 2025, Black in the Game will provide a platform to share and celebrate football stories and landmark moments involving players with Black heritage, including historic trailblazers and contemporary players in today’s game.
The exhibition, made possible with the National Lottery Heritage Fund, is co-curated by a representative panel of footballers and academic leaders, including players like Kerry Davis, Bruce Dyer, Mary Phillip, Brian Deane and Nikita Parris, as well as respected figures within football, such as Leon Mann and Sagal Abdullahi.
