This is a guide on creating a football team. Starting a team is a business taking effort so here are some simple tips
Being an amateur football player is a hobby of million people all over the world. For them, it is about staying fit, keeping themselves competitive, spending their spare time in an active way and building strong relationships and friendships between the teammates.
However, sometimes one feels that they need more than just running on the field a couple of times a week and gambling on the bet sites during the key matches of the favourite professional teams. And if a person plays football professionally, it comes naturally that they have dreamed at least once of their own team of their fantasies.
If a player or enthusiast wants to create their personal football team, they of course have an idea of how the whole business has to look like. However, according to the multiple queries, they mainly imagine some kind of romantic side of having a team: success on the championships, satisfactory feeling of being a leader and other things that have little to do with the real work that should be involved in the process. So what is actually required?
First steps: idea and goals
Each business includes ninety percent of thinking and only 10 percent of acting. The same is with creating a team: you have to have a very precise thought of what your fantasy team is and how it should work. It is essential to decide from the beginning, how the team career will be developed. Answer the following questions:
- Will it be an amateur club or a professional team?
- If the team is professional, which level of tournaments it should be available to participate at?
- What are the rules of registering a team in my city/region/country?
- What documents do I need for the official registration?
- What is the image of the perfect team participant?
- What is my own role in the team?
If you are determined to go further than just a hobby, you have to go through the necessary procedures in your local Football Association Registration Committee and receive the documents confirming the legacy of your actions. This will be essential for developing the team and promote it for participating in serious games and, of course, will give you the opportunity to hire the players easily because your team will become a trusted establishment.
The players of your dream
Not only the formalities are important. If you really long for making a perfect team, you have to pay attention to both skills and the personality of the players. There should be a thorough shortlisting of the candidates because to be successful, all teammates have to share the same views, beliefs and goals. There are plenty of famous cases when strong players could not perform good on a field because they just did not have a common team spirit.
The game certainly depends on the coach. Thus, you will have to pick the right person who will train the players in a way that will lead them to decent achievements.
Team Management
It is a mistake to think that if you own a team, you have to take responsibility for every single detail and duty. You should concentrate on the things that you are good at, but the rest of the management should be given to the trusted people who totally share your views on how the team works and develops. The personnel can include HR managers, public relations specialists, accountants, promotion agents and financial directors.
Financial questions
The final thing in the list is, of course, the funds that will be invested in the team. Certainly, the perfect option is the one when you have enough money to cover all expenses by yourself. However, it is not a common case in the history of creating new teams. There are some other ways you can receive funds for your team:
- Registering your team as a part of your own federation and receive governmental support. The main duties here lay on the PR-managers who have to make a presentation of your, let’s say, brand new product, which will persuade the sponsors to invest into it. You have to look trusted, responsible and professional
- Finding a private sponsor (or several of them). This step does not only include proving the skills of your players; in addition, they have to appear as a perfect flawless picture; thus, the name of the team, the clothing, the total look of the football players are the points that you have to work separately. Do not treat it as some kind of unnecessary fuss
What’s next?
Your aim is probably winning the Olympics with your football team — and it does not matter that you have only started the way. However, take your time. Put actual problems and aims and go forward in small steps, working on each aspect until you know for sure this or that issue is solved.
