Euro-Africans or African Europeans are people with African ancestry, racial, cultural and social heritage born in or citizens of a European country.

Notable individuals

Black people make up to 20% of footballers in various European leagues. Up until recently, however, there were literally no black people in coaching, administrative or corporate positions with regard to football. Frank Rijkaard became the first black person to Coach a European country when he was manager of the Netherlands in 2000, and has since had a successful spell coaching in Spain. Recently Senegalese born Pape Diouf became chairman of Olympique de Marseille. Harry Roselmack became the first black prime time news anchor in France.
