Our Story
Founded in 2013 by a passionate group of football lovers from the Thulani community, Fathers Football Club was born from a simple yet powerful realization—we had the talent, the drive, and the heart to compete. It all started with our triumphant victory in our first-ever Top 8 soccer tournament. That defining moment ignited a vision: to create a club that not only showcases our skills but also uplifts our community. And so, Fathers Football Club came to life—a story of perseverance, unity, and ambition.
