Investing In The Beautiful Game By Owning Your Own Soccer Club

By now you’ve likely read?impassioned and hyper-enthused correspondence or a myriad of social posts about an (ad)venture where we went off and bought a Soccer Club in?Europe.?

For over a yea now, we’ve been asking our?‘Friends in Football' a very simple question: “Wouldn’t it be cool to say “yeah, I own part of a European Soccer Club”??

Wouldn’t it be cooler?to?participate in a?first-of-its-kind sports ownership opportunity?and be part of our path to promotion that we’re already on at this early-stage?

Now, you can be that cool as we're about to relaunch another public offering with a?limited number of minority?ownership shares in FC Pinzgau Saalfelden (FCPS) to the public?through SEC-approved?share offering on WeFunder. ?

Community ownership of professional clubs is common in Europe. But in North America,?professional teams are almost?exclusively owned by billionaires. Fan Owned Club (FOC) changes that.?

Nestled within the Austrian Alps, FCPS currently plays in the third division in Austria, a well-respected football (soccer) association that receives five UEFA berths into European competition each season.

With football (soccer) long considered the pinnacle of international sport, along with the opportunities that technology now provides to make the world smaller and more connected, North American and International fans now have the opportunity to not just follow a Club, but provide operational input, discuss, debate and implement ideas to improve the ascension of the team and wear the jersey of the Club they own.

Fan Owned Club takes the community ownership model common in Europe and brings it to the United States allowing fans to own a piece of their own professional soccer club for less than many pay for season tickets.?

We aim to develop Austria’s FC Pinzgau Saalfelden into a truly global Club, giving international players, coaches and executives an entry point and a home in European football (soccer), driving FCPS to become a recognizable name across North America, Europe and beyond.?

Ideally, the FCPS project — a blank slate, albeit not from thin air — provides “proof of concept” for future FOC initiatives in both football (soccer), sporting, gaming and other platforms.
