Projects
Created and founded by Richard Flash, The Black Soccer Academic celebrates English football's Black and Brown footballers, both 'past and present'.
Our first project was inspired by Richard's children Harrison and Dylan, and was launched in 2023 on our social media platforms.
Our daily posts on the Instagram and X platforms led to our first project. We launched the First11 Black Players Project in 2024.
