15th Black Women in Europe Power List – Celebrating Footballers
As we mark the 15th anniversary of the Black Women in Europe™ Power List, we reflect on a decade and a half of honoring Black excellence, leadership, and inspiration across the continent. Each year, our Power List spotlights women who are shaping their fields, breaking barriers, and creating positive change. Last year, we celebrated the trailblazing politicians who are leading with vision and courage.
This year, with the excitement building ahead of the Women’s World Cup, we turn our spotlight to the footballers. Across Europe, Black women are redefining the beautiful game, on and off the pitch. Their talent, resilience, and passion inspire millions, spark vital conversations, and continue to transform the landscape of women’s football.
From grassroots heroes to world-class professionals, these athletes are not only scoring goals but also challenging stereotypes, advocating for representation, and empowering future generations. Their journeys are testaments to perseverance, teamwork, and the unyielding spirit of sport.
In this milestone edition of the Power List, we celebrate Black women footballers whose stories and achievements illuminate the road to the World Cup and beyond.
Each of these women embodies resilience, ambition, and inspiration—both on and off the pitch. Their words and actions continue to pave the way for the next generation of football talent.
Join us as we honor these game changers who are pushing boundaries, uplifting their communities, and making history, one match at a time.
