Phoenix Heroes Football Community

Building veteran communities is our strength, our veteran carp angling community is one great example. We are now in a position to build another community through the love of football.

How it Started

The inspiration behind starting our own football community came from Mike Barrett from Crowborough Athletic FC.

I first met Phoenix Heroes about 4-4.5 years ago when they were just starting out and really liked them as people and as a cause. I jumped in and did some fundraising with them both myself and with the company I work for. Since then, they’ve gone from strength to strength, and I’ve seen the great work they do. They have responded instantly when I’ve had Veterans needing support - Mike Barrett

2023 - 2024 FIXTURES COMING SOON...

What to expect...

It is early days and our first game in May 2023 at Crowborough Athletic FC was a great success, we are hoping to then take our community football to another level by attracting sponsorship and organising a UK wide football competition. We already have two teams formed from different parts of the UK and we would like to grow this and build a squad of players made up of veterans, serving members of the Armed Forces and their families.
