Welcome to FTBLRLIFE: Where Football Finds Its Home

Welcome to FTBLRLIFE: Where Football Finds Its Home

Our Why?

I never planned to build a global football community. But sometimes the most meaningful journeys start with a simple observation: the beautiful game isn't equally accessible to all.

As a former college player and now a father of a professional footballer, I've seen both sides of the sport. While some players have access to the best training, equipment, and opportunities, countless talented athletes worldwide face barriers that have nothing to do with their ability to play.

That's why we created FTBLRLIFE.

We're not just another social media platform or sports app. We're building a home for football – a place where a young player in rural Kenya can connect with a scout in London, where a coach in Nepal can share training tips with colleagues in Brazil, and where passionate football people worldwide can support each other's dreams.

Our mission is simple but ambitious: make football truly accessible to all.

How are we doing this?

• Creating transparent pathways for player development • Supporting grassroots academies through our "Kits with Purpose" program • Providing a platform where talent can be discovered regardless of location • Building a positive, supportive community that celebrates the game we love

The results? In just our first year, we've seen:

  • Over 25 million post views
  • Profiles from 132+ countries
  • 1000+ grassroots academies joined
  • Countless connections made

But the numbers only tell part of the story. The real impact is in stories like the Madira Soccer Assassins, a girls' team in Kenya that's changing lives through football, or Humla Soccer Academy in Nepal that's now connected to the global football community.

This blog will share these stories – the triumphs, the challenges, and the everyday moments that make football the world's game. We'll introduce you to the people and projects making a difference, share insights from our community, and showcase how football continues to break down barriers.

Whether you're a player, coach, parent, or fan, you have a home here at FTBLRLIFE. This is your community, your platform, your story to help write.

Welcome to the family. Let's change lives through football, together.
