BPC and the San Jose Earthquakes focuses on leveling the playing field for aspiring Black coaches to create a more inclusive and equitable coaching landscape.

Tacoma Defiance head coach Hervé Diese sees Wilfried Nancy as the standard for coaching success in MLS — winning MLS Cup, Coach of the Year and on the trajectory to reach higher heights.

Black Players for Change and Black Star have joined forces to leverage their collective strength and resources to focus on removing barriers to entry for young Black players.

Executive Director Allen Hopkins Jr. joins Morning Footy to discuss BPC, the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., which players come to mind when thinking of his values, and discussing the importance of his teachings as we look forward towards the future.

2024 has been a testament to the power of collective action and the unwavering commitment of our players, coaches, and advocates  to drive positive change in the world of soccer.

Through the 2024 season, there were ZERO on-field player-on-player discriminatory incidents at the MLS first-team level.

In support of Human Rights Day, Black Players for Change member Miles Robinson and Executive Director Emeritus Justin Morrow teamed up with Sport for Impact and The Water Hub to shed light on the important message about water equity and affordability.

We’re thrilled to launch our Goals with Reach Campaign! Black Players for Change (BPC) is aiming to raise $25,000 to expand programs that champion equity, representation, and opportunity in soccer.
