Changing The Game | Fan Controlled Football Announces Inaugural Season

Looking for something unique in the world of sports? Well, pay attention because Fan Controlled Football (FCF) is looking to change everything as we know it. Today FCF, the only professional sports league that enables fans to call the plays in real-time, announced that FCF Season v1.0 will launch in February 2021. The league’s premiere season will include four teams that feature pro-caliber athletes battling it out over a six-week schedule. The games will be live-streamed exclusively on Twitch and will change the way fans and players interact.

Sohrob Farudi, Co-founder and CEO of Fan Controlled Football, spoke about the platform and its goals. Farudi stated: “We are pushing boundaries and pioneering a new category of immersive sports that will be a seismic shift in the worlds of sport and entertainment.” He added, “Fan Controlled Football is IRL meets URL. For the first time in sports history, fans get to call the shots for their team, everything from team branding, player selection, and real-time play calling is decided by the fans. This is the future of sports and we’re excited to co-create history with the fans.”

FCF has also partnered with some of the biggest names and personalities in the world of sport and culture. FCF announced Hip Hop Mogul Quavo of Migos as the newest team owner. He joins the likes of NFL Super Bowl Champions Richard Sherman and Marshawn Lynch, Mike Tyson, and Kinda Funny. Each time will have a lead owner and be partnered with other members of the FCF family as part of their ownership group. Fans will be able to help shape their team’s personality and identity on the road to the championship.

FCF aims to combine the passion of live sports, the competitive nature of fantasy sports, the interactivity of video games, and the reach of esports into a unique experience. The league is the first to place fans in the general manager role in partnership with team owners. FCF has developed an innovative interactive video overlay for desktop and mobile, which allows fans to call the plays on top of the Twitch video player. FCF will feature elite athletes from NCAA Division I and II programs, the CFL, XFL, and IFL.

Fans can expect a fast-paced, high-scoring 7-vs-7 style of football played on a 35-yard x 50-yard field with 10- yard end zones. The six week season is slated to kick off in February 2021, with four regular-season weeks, one playoff week, and a Championship week. The games are designed for a digital audience and held at FCF’s state-of-the-art facility in Atlanta. Fans can register at www.FCF.io to align with their favorite team owner, then start building the teams. Fans have the chance to determine team names, colors, logos, uniforms, hire team coaches, and more.
