Home Freedom Through Football History Constitution Together For Peace
We are part of an international network of like-minded teams who are all committed to "freedom through football".

That slogan attempts to capture what we, and the other teams, share philosophically, because in many other ways we're quite different. We don't believe in political cloning, but we do believe in sharing alternative ideas about anti-oppressive culture and action.
