Glasgow’s sporting stars have been honoured at the 2025 Glasgow’s Sport Awards ceremony.

The event is run by Glasgow Life, the charity which delivers culture, events and active living in Glasgow, to recognise the impact athletes, clubs, coaches, schools and volunteers have on sport, physical activity and wellbeing in the city.

This year’s Glasgow’s Sport Awards, sponsored by creative media and digital specialists Think ALT, were held at the Emirates Arena on Monday 1 December.

The ceremony celebrated the commitment and sporting achievements of individuals, organisations and projects over the last year, with all aspects of sport in Glasgow recognised, from its young athletes and unsung heroes to inspirational coaches and elite-level professionals.

Glasgow’s Sport Awards also looked to the future, with event organisers welcoming the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee as Glasgow prepares to host the Commonwealth Games in 2026.

Bailie Annette Christie, Chair of Glasgow Life and Convenor for Culture, Sport and International Relations, said: “Glasgow’s Sport Awards are a great opportunity to celebrate the outstanding work going on right across our city’s sport and physical activity sector. The range of awards available and the achievements of the nominees show the scale of sporting ambition, commitment and talent that flows through our clubs, sport hubs, community groups and beyond. Congratulations to all the winners and thank you to everyone involved in our sport and physical activity sector for all your efforts, which have helped Glasgow to earn and build its reputation as a city of sporting excellence.”
