London Football Awards

Judging Panel


The London Football Awards are independently judged by experts from the football industry – which features former players, journalists, broadcasters and industry professionals.

Alongside the main judging panel, we also have two sub panels for our women’s awards and the three community awards – to ensure we have the insight and expertise to accurately judge the awards effectively.
