A little Bit About Us

FC United of Manchester is driven by a clear purpose as a supporter-owned, not-for-profit community football club with an exciting five-year vision for growth.

By joining FC United you can expect to be part of something special. You’ll be working for a club that has one of the highest profiles in the English non-league game. We have 2,700 members, more than 2,000 passionate, invested supporters at our home games and almost one million engaged followers worldwide via our social media networks.

And we have serious ambitions to be promoted up the football pyramid, with a committed and passionate football management team.

But on top of this, you’ll be part of a club that invests in and supports the communities of North Manchester and beyond. A club that is working to improve community welfare and wellbeing; education and employability; and inclusion in sport through football development.

You’ll be part of a club housed in a modern facility, used throughout the week, all year round, by a broad range of individuals and organisations.

The club is proud to have won the inaugural 2021-22 Fenix Trophy, a friendship competition for European non-league clubs which attracted positive coverage both here and across Europe. We will be continuing this odyssey next season, with European home fixtures under the floodlights at Broadhurst Park, as well as excursions into Europe. We wish to capitalise on this unique opportunity, and we need your help with this.

Join us as we embark on our ambitious community growth plans.
