G'day sports fans,

A special message: You may remember saying some wild stuff about six months ago about how I was helping my friends at a sports card company found a football club that would be essentially run by fans.

Well, we did it!

To date, we are on course to win our league, and TODAY (in 45mins time @ 7pm AEDT), FUFC kick-off their first ever FA Cup match, streamed live on YouTube.

I would really appreciate anyone that could tune in, even for a few minutes, to see what we're doing over there.

⚽️ MATCH DAY

It’s a huge moment for us, and support is needed more than ever!

A place in the second round could set up a dream tie versus one of Thailand’s biggest sides in an incredible stadium, so there is a lot at stake on Wednesday!
