The Muslim Sports Awards are a flagship celebration of excellence, dedication, and impact across the Muslim sporting community.

Created to recognise achievement at every level of sport—from grassroots participation and community leadership to elite athletic performance—the awards shine a spotlight on the individuals, clubs, coaches, volunteers, and organisations helping to shape a stronger, more inclusive sporting landscape. More than an awards ceremony, the Muslim Sports Awards are a powerful statement about visibility, representation, and aspiration.

These awards provide an important platform to celebrate those achievements publicly, highlighting role models whose journeys can inspire the next generation to believe that sport is a space where they belong and can thrive.

By championing Muslim excellence in sport, the Muslim Sports Awards help challenge stereotypes, foster greater inclusion, and create pathways for wider participation. They serve as a reminder that representation matters—and that when communities see people who look like them succeeding, coaching, leading, and breaking barriers, ambition becomes tangible.

For the Muslim Sports Foundation, the Muslim Sports Awards represent a shared commitment to empowering communities through sport. They are not simply about recognising achievement—they are about building legacy, inspiring future leaders, and ensuring that the contributions of Muslim individuals and organisations in sport receive the recognition they deserve.

This years Muslim Sports Awards Ceremony will take place on Wednesday 11th November 2026.
