This is a list of Sikh footballers (soccer).
Introduction.
Sikh footballers have been part of the football community for many years, with players contributing to the sport both on and off the field. While historical records are limited, notable players like Roger Verdi, Jarnail Singh and Inder Singh paved the way for modern-day players such as Manprit Sarkaria, Danny Batth and Harmeet Singh.
There has also been various football clubs founded by Sikhs such as Panjab football team, Punjab United, Balestier Khalsa and Sporting Khalsa. In 2016, Sporting Khalsa reached the fourth qualifying round of the FA Cup.
The movie "Bend It Like Beckham" which was based on a Sikh girl who wanted to play professional football, grossed $76.6 million at the box office, making it the highest-grossing football sports film.

The majority of Sikhs belong to the Punjabi ethnic group which origins can be traced in both Pakistan and India.
