Muslim Sports Foundation is proud to announce that nominations are officially open for the 2025 Muslim Sports Awards.
As the organisers of this prestigious celebration, we invite communities across the UK to shine a light on the remarkable achievements of Muslim individuals and organisations in sport.
Championing Excellence, Inspiring Generations
The Muslim Sports Awards were established to recognise and celebrate the incredible talent, dedication, and impact of Muslims in sport—from grassroots volunteers to elite professionals. We believe in the power of representation and the importance of honouring those who serve as role models both on and off the field.
At Muslim Sports Foundation, our mission is to use sport as a vehicle for social impact and community empowerment. The Awards are a key part of that mission—offering a national platform to highlight inspiring stories that deserve wider recognition.
