Gay boys of colour play sports
Are you tired of how white MM sports romance is?? Gather round, homos!
🤎At least one of the MMCs is a person of colour 🤎
*includes bi & pan characters and everyone under the queer & trans umbrella

If you're cool with graphic novels: Fence by CS Pacat fits the bill. Seiji is Japanese. WHich there is a novel version too "Striking Distance"

Omg yes! I didn't even consider the potential if I add graphic novels!
Love this list! I'd also add:
- Futbolista by Jonny Garza Villa
- Loving the Legend by Kit Grey
- Across the Line by R. Frank Davis

Futbolista by Jonny Garza Villa would be a great addition to this list! 5/5⭐️

I definitely thought that was already here 🤭 I guess in my mind!
Possibly, these may also interest you! I've only read a few others on your list so uncertain how in-depth you'd like their heritage to be reflected in the story as the below are on the lighter side - But per the representation notes on the authors website and corroborated through MC's descriptions: Save the Game (Puerto Rican) , On the Edge (Japanese-American), One Touch Pass (Mexican) are part of JJ Mulder's SCU Hockey series.

Oooh thank you !
Omg, a friend of mine just got back into reading and wanted to read more sports romance so this is perfect 🤩 thank you 💕

If it's sports romance, I'm your boy
I just finished The Passing Playbook by Isaac Fitsimmons. The MC is a black soccer player.

Heck yeah
