Our Mission

Favella Football Club (FFC) is the intersection of community, culture and the passion for futbol. Soccer for us is the universal vehicle that brings us all together and provides a space for creative self expression. We accept all people who share our passion and the importance of what it means to tap in with our inner child. We believe soccer can play a pivotal role in life by providing a framework for a healthy lifestyle, self expression, community engagement, and many other facets. Favella believes it is critical to demonstrate this framework in action.

What we do

We offer a safe communal space for pick up soccer, trainings, practices, and social events. We operate throughout the year and find different ways to give back to the community through the medium of creative expression and futbol.

Why is it important?

Favella is important to us because it is where it all began. Futbol at different points of our lives has brought us all together. When we play futbol, it plays to the transcendental importance of each person’s soul and helps stay connected with our inner child. The futbol is not just a ball; it is your friend, your pillow, your safe place, your bible, your escape. Around the world it is recognized as a way of life, and we all share this recognition.
