Peter Crouch and Jamie Carragher to host Global Football Industry Awards

They excelled on the pitch together and have since gone on to become beloved broadcasters, and now Peter Crouch and Jamie Carragher are teaming up once again.

The former Liverpool FC players, who now delight fans with their podcasts and TV appearances, will reunite to host the inagural Global Football Industry Awards together next month.

Scheduled for Thursday 20 November 2025 in London, the ceremony will unite football's most powerful business figures, trailblazers, and pioneers for an evening honouring the unrecognised champions propelling the sport's transformation across the globe.

Carragher, who also assisted in establishing the occasion, alongside Crouch will spearhead the night's festivities, showcasing the brands, institutions, and personalities revolutionising football through daring concepts, meaningful initiatives, and commercial breakthroughs.

"Football is so much more than what happens on the pitch – it's built by people, partnerships, and ideas that often go unseen," said Jamie Carragher.

"It's time those efforts got the recognition they deserve. I'm looking forward to hosting the event and reuniting with Crouchy."

In contrast to conventional football award ceremonies, the Global Football Industry Awards will shine a light on excellence beyond the pitch – across sectors including sponsorship, marketing, sustainability, grassroots development, diversity and inclusion, and investment in women's football.

The Global Football Industry Awards will bring together football icons, industry leaders, emerging disruptors and community trailblazers from around the world.

A panel of respected judges, comprising experts and figures from across the game, will select the winners.

Poised to become a significant new event in the football calendar, the Global Football Industry Awards will celebrate the work that is shaping the future of the sport, with a focus on innovation, inclusion, and impact.
