And if the vision of a more just and democratic system of global sport don’t get you out of bed, you should still check out all the member benefits, and join up because it’s fun to be rooting for the same project with a crew of interested people. Watch party NYC, deets coming soon!

You should join us! You reading this right now. It’ll cost ya $100, and you’ll be a co-owner in our cooperative community. So beyond the whole football side, you’ll also be participating in a democratic project, and standing against the trend of billionaires using clubs as their playground.

We’re going for prom into the 7th division, we’re founding a woman’s side in the club, we’re strengthening the youth development system, and we’re falling in love with Volturara Irpina, where the Dragons play.

@footballclubgroup.com is a collection of football loving fans around the world, who have formed a cooperative to steward @terminio.org up through the Italian pyramid. Some day, we’re going to be playing in the champions league, but for now…

For the last many years, I’ve been fascinated (and annoyed) by the ever-more-broken ownership model in professional sports. So tomorrow, when @terminio.org takes the field, with a team of @footballclubgroup.com member-owners behind them from around the globe, its A Big Deal: a 🧵

Schedule of where what time the game starts, depending on where you are in the world

Yup! But, in the world of “people who have 4 billion dollars to toss around” I’m defo going to be, at least, eating dirt.

Alan the Baltimoron @bmorons.bsky.social · 15d

Oh I donno. Beats being owned by the russian mob or an oil conglomerate.

Dang that’s a good throw tho.

THIS is how to settle the question of what team(s) to root for! Collective ownership!

I decided it was time to put my money where my mouth is.

All I want from a club is what ASD Polisportiva Terminio via FCG can give me.

So I did a thing and I am now a proud founding member of FCG and part owner of ASD Terminio.

The push was seeing the kids training.

Grazie mille 🐉💚💛

Confirmation I am now a part owner of a football club.

Love to see it, but also - man our words really do mean nothing anymore. The idea that Charlie Kirk, who actively called Jews like me Unpeople and wished us "removed" from life would end up being lionized by ANYONE as anything other then virulently antisemitic is brain breaking.

Now, see, for Mounty? Winning run? Sure.

Alan the Baltimoron @bmorons.bsky.social · Sep 7

Fundamentally unimportant in the whole drama here, but … why on earth do you pinch run for JJax there? He’s not the tying or the winning run, so other shit has to go way right for you…

and you, too, can sit in the owners box with us on your next trip! Join up at @footballclubgroup.com and let’s build towards the seventh tier and beyond!

ASD Terminio @terminio.org · Aug 31

We play in Italy’s 8th tier, Seconda Categoria 🇮🇹⚽️

There are no million dollar signings, no private jets, no billionaire owners.

Just a beautiful small town, a fiery football club, and a three-headed dragon 🐉

If you’ve forgotten why you fell in love with football, Terminio is here to remind you.
