Super Eagles Midfielder Alex Iwobi Celebrated on Football Black List for Community Impact
Fulham and Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi has earned a spot on the prestigious Football Black List for his work off the pitch. He was recognised for “Project 17,” his community initiative focused on youth empowerment, mentorship and grassroots development. Supported by the Premier League, the annual list highlights influential figures of African and Caribbean heritage across coaching, media, administration and community engagement. Iwobi’s inclusion underscores the growing role players can have in driving positive change beyond football. The initiative, founded in 2008, honours role models shaping the future of the game. Iwobi and fellow honourees will be celebrated at a ceremony in Westminster on April 14.
