We’re opening the door to players, partners, investors and venues to make it real.
There was a time when football felt alive.
Not sanitised.
Not controlled.
Not built for balance sheets.
Alive.
The Los Angeles Aztecs sat inside that moment.
A club that represented something different.
Personality. Movement. Culture.
A time when George Best brought presence.
When Johan Cruyff redefined the game.
When Rinus Michels built Total Football.
That version of football didn’t disappear.
It was replaced.
This Isn’t Nostalgia
We’re not competing with modern football.
We’re rebuilding what it used to feel like.
The Model
Football Is For The Fans is rebuilding the Aztecs as a touring football and cultural property.
Not a league.
Not a franchise.
A system.
IP → Content → Events → Revenue → Ownership
The Next 12 Months
We are targeting our first UK event within the next 6–9 months.
Venue discussions are already underway.
This is about proof.
Not scale.
A single event with 2,000–5,000 fans validates the model.
From there, it compounds.
Built for How Sport Actually Works Now
We are building with the same mindset that made the Savannah Bananas successful.
Not just sport.
Experience. Identity. Culture.
Fans don’t follow formats.
They follow moments.
Stadium Strategy
We are actively looking for stadium partners in the UK and North America.
-
5,000–10,000 capacity
-
tight atmosphere
-
commercially flexible venues
No empty seats.
No dead space.
Ticketing
-
affordable pricing
-
community allocation
-
tickets distributed to schools
Because without fans, this doesn’t happen.
Revenue
Each event generates:
-
ticketing
-
sponsorship
-
merchandise
-
content
-
partnerships
Multiple streams.
Repeatable.
Scalable.
The Reality
We have not held an event yet.
That’s the risk.
But everything else is already in place:
-
audience
-
IP
-
structure
-
venue access
-
commercial model
Execution is the only missing piece.
The Audience
-
13M+ impressions
-
67K+ engagements
-
23K+ LinkedIn audience
-
10K+ owned subscribers
-
188K monthly views
Built organically.
This is not potential.
It’s demand.
Ownership
Football ownership is closed.
Entry into MLS and top-tier US football now requires tens to hundreds of millions.
We are opening a different door.
We are raising £200,000 to:
-
execute the first event
-
build the team
-
produce content
-
activate the model
This is the lowest entry point this will ever have.
We are already in discussions with:
-
former athletes
-
family offices
-
UHNW and HNW individuals
Sponsorship
We are opening 4 sponsor positions:
-
£3,000
-
£5,000
-
£10,000
-
£15,000 (Founding Partner)
This is not passive exposure.
Partners get:
-
access to a highly engaged audience
-
full content integration
-
remarketing rights
-
on-site activation
-
behind-the-scenes access
-
direct access to players
-
endorsement opportunities
This is proximity.
The Ecosystem
We are building a full event stack.
We are looking for:
-
airlines
-
hotel groups
-
automotive partners
-
healthcare and recovery
-
performance and sports science
-
media and technology
-
logistics and infrastructure
-
global brands aligned with football
We are not taking:
-
alcohol
-
gambling
Because this is fan-owned.
Not fan extraction.
2026
The World Cup will shift global attention to North America.
Millions of new fans.
No fixed loyalties.
After that, entry gets harder.
More expensive.
More crowded.
We are building before that window closes.
Expansion
The Aztecs are the starting point.
This expands into:
-
Washington Diplomats
-
Chicago Sting
-
Boston Minutemen
A National Soccer League network.
Not a club.
What Happens Next
Without fans, this doesn’t happen.
Without players, this doesn’t move.
Without partners, this doesn’t scale.
Without venues, this doesn’t exist.
This will be built.
The only question is who is part of it early.
If you’re a player — step forward.
If you’re a brand — align early.
If you’re an investor — position now.
If you have a venue — host it.
Make it happen.
