Can Community ownership of football club
work in nigeria? My answer is YES! The
reason are much but lets use Enyimba as a
case study: The club (enyimba) has a 10000
registered members who are of different
category in club(gold,silve r and bronze
members). Gold members are to pay 500k
pre season and members in this category
are just 100, silver are to pay 100k per
season,members are like 1000 then last last
category bronze 8900 members are to pay
the sum of 10k per season as annul
subcription. That means the club will get
89m from bronze, 100m from silver,gold
50m and the total equal 239m frm
subscription alone. Benefits of been a
member can be in this format: gold are
entitle to contest to become an excutive
member , or member of the board for a
duration of 3yrs, they are to sit on the VIP
for the home games in the stadium for free,
they get one home jersey, access to use the
club domain on the internet e.g
writer@enyimbaf c.com, free access to the
club recretion ground with friends and
business partners and so on. Silver: are to
sit on the cover stand for a half fee of home
games. Eg. They pay #500 instead of 1k for
cover stand. They can vote for their
executive in gold category to be elected,
using domin name of the club, get stickers,
banners of the club etc, and get a jersey.
Silver: they can also vote, get employed in
any of the club subsideries (space wont
allow me explain how even if the members
in this group are up to 10m can be
employed cos the more members, the more
business the club will embark upon), can
use domain of the club, get latest jist of the
club on their phone etc. So please lets
surport community club cos it will reduce
unemployment and fans will filled the stadia.
N.B:Moderator plz front page for good of our football

OK, waiting for others

front page ooooo

This is a really nice idea

best idea i think....

thanks

mod plz front page. Since febuary oooo

Nice suggestion. I also want Enyimba to build a new 35,000 - 40,000 capacity stadium in Aba (or it's outskirts). The present township stadium doesn't befit their status as an elite Nigeria/African team.

soon it will be done.

Preview Over a period spanning a long decade of formation of supportership in the world one needs to evaluate logical, critical and analytical the gain the effect it has on a particular goal or objective in this world. This form of social gathering forms a powerful tool that can be used to solve problems that created divide in the society and in particular community relationship in one another. This form can easily be classified as a tripod partnership that comprises of the public (government), private individuals or corporate organizations and finally the people who are mainly classified as the receiver and the backbone of any project in the world. : Football thrives in diversity and multi-cultural ethnicity. That diversity is actually what is supposed to work to our advantage. Plenty of flavour and colouration. For one it is suicidal to expect that tax payers money should be spent unaccounted for in football. This concept simply means the clubs being owned by the people instead of Government. Where by 10000 people pay 5k (five thousand ) membership fee The constitution of the club should spell it clearly that everyone would have equal share for 50yrs at least so that the annual renewal would run and build funds for the sustenance of the clubs over the years. Every business without accountability and financial integrity would never grow or gain value and respect. With this idea of fan ownership, is it possible to get grant/loan from bank to expand or will it be done as normal contribution. If a club has 10000 fans committed to the cause in five years they would increase income by 35% through merchandise and adverts. A topical example of community ownership is FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. These are clubs owned by communities not individual or group. We must agree that the present system of government patron is criminal, lacking in financial best practice and corporate integrity.

.That why we will need intellectual like us to show the way forward. A club in Japan was formed from online user all we need to do is gather ourself and form a club.

The former LMC boss has called on communities where NPFL clubs are based to work towards taking over from the government for effectiveness.

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the League Management Company (LMC), Nduka Irabor has challenged communities where NPFL clubs are based to see the teams in their enclave as theirs and strive to provide for their needs so that the state government could gradually hands off ownership of the teams.

Besides MFM, ABS, FC Ifeanyiubah and Remo Stars all other NPFL clubs are owned by state government and this is contrary to the FIFA statutes which frown at government involvement in football.


Irabor who was the immediate past Chairman of the LMC told the media that community ownership of football clubs would make the bond between the teams and the communities in which they reside stronger because the people in the area will see them as their own and work towards their progress.

“I want to state that communities’ ownership of football clubs will help the league in Nigeria to thrive. The community will see the clubs as their own and they will do everything to keep the clubs intact,” Irabor told the media.

“There are so many problems bedeviling teams that are owned by the State government and besides the fact that they have issues with funds and others the World football governing body does not support the arrangement too.

“We must make our league to work and the best bet is communities’ ownership of the teams because it will enable the government to hands off ownership of teams.”
