Sheffield The Real Home Of Football

11th July 2018

Sheffield FC are recognized by FIFA and the FA as the first and oldest football club in the World.

Over the past few years we have achieved global recognition and put our city region on the map. Our USP of being the first is something we all should be proud of and we now seek support to further our reach and deliver something special for the region. We have ambitions to relocate back to the city from our current stadium in Dronfield, which has been our home since 2001. Our aim is to make Sheffield known as the home of football. We are currently developing a digital marketing strategy that will give us possible reach of up to 3 billion football followers around the world after all, if you are the first, whichever team you support, it genetically came from us! Did you know? Our current social reach is approaching 100k within the region. Our work in the community is spreading around the world, engaging young people in sport, health and wellbeing through our successful education programmes. I would like to invite you to join us in continuing this special institution and help us reach our goals.
