Our Team, Our Rules

The Vision

Instead of being a fan that sits on the sidelines and waits to see what your club’s billionaire owner decides to do next, have you ever thought about what it would be like for you to be sat at the wheel? 

Don’t fancy the coach anymore? Hire a new one! The midfielders aren’t pulling their weight? Drop them! Spot some young prospects that deserve a chance in the starting eleven? Call them Up!

Our Team is a concept with a very simple aim: To build a football club where fans from around the world make the footballing decisions. 

In Our Team, you will be calling the shots. You will pick the coach in the dugout, the players on the pitch, and even the jerseys they wear.


Where will we go next? This is a blank canvas, you’ll decide.

  • We will initially be surveying members in the free sign-up form to assess preferences, before then investigating options around Europe.

  • Yes! We invite those interested in the project to Join the Movement for free and indicate their preferences.

  • Yes, and we’ve taken significant inspiration from previous, similar projects, both in terms of what to do and what not to do.

    MyFootballClub was the first attempt at a concept similar to this, when 30,000 fans from around the world combined in 2007 to buy English Conference National League club Ebbsfleet United. This project was short-lived however, with the club being sold in 2013 amidst financial issues, we’ve taken great learnings from the failings of this project.

    Fujieda MYFC is perhaps the greatest success story we can take inspiration from. This team now competes in the second-tier of Japanese football having risen from the bottom of the football pyramid, and has been run completely by online subscribers since being bought by them in 2009.

    At present, there are a small number of semi-professional/amateur teams around Europe operating with a similar model of online subscribers making club decisions. Such as AFC Crewe who compete the in English non-league system, AG Caen of France, and TC Freisenbruch in Germany.

Founder’s Story

Our Team was founded in 2023 by Chris Foley, who is first and foremost - a football fan. 

Growing up in Ireland, Chris has been involved in the sport from a young age, as a player, coach and journalist, with varying degrees of success. 

This aside, Chris’s professional background is in the tech industry, and he’s lived in China, Hong Kong and Thailand in addition to his homeland. These experiences led him to write a book, Missionaries, published by The Stand Publishing in 2022.

Our Team FC is a concept which has lived in Chris’s imagination for many years, inspired by a belief that by leveraging fan-power in numbers, we have the potential to create something truly unique.
