London Football Awards 2025: Celebrating excellence and supporting Willow

The London Football Awards 2025 took centre stage at Wembley Stadium’s Bobby Moore Suite on Thursday 27 February, as football’s biggest names gathered to celebrate the capital’s finest talent.

Held in support of Willow, the annual event united current players, football legends and dedicated supporters of the charity to honour outstanding achievements while raising vital funds for Special Days — unforgettable experiences for seriously ill young adults.

The competition was fierce, with prestigious awards such as Premier League Player of the Year, Barclays WSL Player of the Year and EFL Player of the Year up for grabs. Rising stars were recognised in the Young Player of the Year categories, while the Community Project of the Year award highlighted the inspiring initiatives that harness the power of football to transform lives.

Tottenham Hotspur’s Archie Gray picked up the award for Men’s Young Player of the Year and said, “This season has really helped me grow, both on and off the pitch, and it’s amazing to receive this award in recognition of that. I want to thank everyone that’s been around for me and has voted for me.”

Meanwhile Aggie Beever-Jones scooped Women’s Young Player of the Year for a second season, adding, “I’m delighted. It’s always nice to win a trophy, especially in my hometown of London. Having won last year, I’m really happy to have been given this award again, especially having my dad here with me this year.”
