Celebrate Black excellence in English football with Black in the Game, a powerful new exhibition at the National Football Museum.

Discover the stories, achievements and impact of African and Caribbean communities who have shaped the game – from early trailblazers and Premier League stars to coaches, match officials and grassroots heroes.

Created with support from football’s Black heritage community, the exhibition features iconic objects and untold stories, many on display for the first time. A must-see celebration of culture, courage and contribution both on and off the pitch.

City of Manchester residents get free admission to the National Football Museum.
