ABOUT NYC FOOTY

NYC Footy began in Brooklyn in 2010. Three friends that met on a free agent team came together to offer something better. Better jerseys, better customer service, better website, a better commitment to social, and a commitment towards inclusiveness.

In short, a better vibe.

NYC Footy has grown to become the nation’s largest adult soccer league, with divisions that for anyone, whether your new to soccer or an ex-pro. In short, We welcome everyone. Well…almost everyone (we remove overly aggressive, entitled, and/or abusive personalities).

As the largest and most recognizable league in New York City, we continue to expand programming to accommodate the needs of the community. This includes our partnership with BetterPlayer, a soccer training program, Footy Kids, our new youth program, our two annual tournaments, the Governors Cup and the Footy Fest, our charity tournament, the SBU Cup and more.

Oh, and we’re always mixed gender.


MEET THE TEAM

Meet NYC Footy’s wonderfully diverse team. A group where every full time employee was an NYC Footy community member first. We know what it’s like to be a player. We know what it’s like to be a referee. We’re not only here to make the Footy experience top drawer for you, but to make it the best experience for ourselves.

Oh, and if english isn’t your preferred language, then reach out in Spanish, Portuguese, Italian or Swedish. We’ve got you covered.
