FC BATTERSEA IS A ‘GRASS ROOTS’ FOOTBALL CLUB FOUNDED ON VALUES, CULTURE AND EXCELLENCE

The selective club comprises talented players from across Battersea and surrounding regions. We provide a high-performance pathway from U13s through to U18s youth football, leveraging the best the professional game has to offer.

Head Coach, Babz Shaghouei (UEFA B qualified) says, “it’s important to provide football environments that are fully inclusive – and we do that through free football drop-in sessions at the Doddington Estate with our partner, STORM. But when there are kids with real potential, we’d be doing a disservice not to challenge them harder – to show them what happens with a bit of self belief and a whole lot of work.”

Senior Team Coach, Anthony McNamee (UEFA B qualified) adds, “FC Battersea enables local kids to become great footballers. We want to mentor them to be the best.” Anthony is a former professional who played in the Premiership with Watford and represented England at U19s.

The Club vision is to occupy the gap in the game between the ‘academy’ and ‘grassroots’ youth systems for players with talent and commitment. Exceptional players will be recommended to Fulham FC as part of our Partnership agreement.
