Derby County is joining the football world in celebrating Black History Month throughout October.

To mark Black History Month in 2025, Derby County is one of a number of clubs to link up with Show Racism the Red Card for a special campaign.

Show Racism the Red Card is the UK’s leading anti-racism charity, established in January 1996, to use education to combat racism.

The charity is collaborating on an education programme with several clubs, including Derby County, which will extend the anti-racism programme they already undertake with them to highlight the untold history of Black Footballers and produce a physical exhibition commemorating the first 11 Black players to play for each club.

Each club will have 11 individual backdrops which will then form a mobile display that can be used at their home stadium and also in local community facilities like libraries, town halls, schools, youth clubs and community centres.

These displays will then be used as part of Show Racism the Red Card’s Education Days at each club, with a programme of workshops for young people incorporated into the day, while the backdrops can also be used by individual partner clubs in their own Equality, Diversity and Inclusion work.
