Through our growing network of more than 120 academies across the UK and internationally, we provide weekly training, competitive teams, holiday camps, birthday parties, one-to-one coaching and professional scouting opportunities. More than 100,000 children have trained with We Make Footballers, with over 350 players progressing into professional academies.

Our franchise owners have the opportunity to build their own football coaching business and develop a complete local football club, creating teams, recruiting coaches and establishing a clear pathway from a child’s first session through to competitive football.

Franchise owners benefit from a proven business model, an established coaching curriculum, an exclusive territory, centralised marketing, booking and payment technology, recruitment support and ongoing business mentoring.

We are committed to developing players, coaches and football entrepreneurs while creating positive, lasting opportunities within local communities.
