Running a futsal club competing at the highest level in the country comes at a significant cost. As a club that formed during the summer of 2021, the Aztecs succeeded way quicker than anticipated. Shortly following the founding of the club, just a sole women's team, the Aztecs were accepted into the FA National Futsal Series. With lots of fast-paced dramatic games, the Aztecs won their final game of the season to finish third place in the NFS South, which resulted in promotion to the national league for the second half of the season. Our previous game on BT Sport versus Coventry saw the programme peak at 60,000 viewers. In the second half of the season, competing for the national title and a place in the Champions League, the Aztecs will feature on BT Sport four more times.
Our principal sponsor so far has been the British Football Coaches Network, a site decided to the promotion and career prospects of British and Irish coaches. BFCN are the main shirt sponsor, and will continue to be involved in Aztecs support and promotion going forward. If you'd like to get involved in supporting a top tier women's team, in a growing sport, with games on television, here are some of the ways you can help.
Kit
Travel shirts - The team travels the country for games, stopping at several services along the way. These shirts would also be warn pre-game and post-game.
Front shirt - This is the most notable sponsor, being on the front of the shirt.
Back shirt - The back of shirt sponsor would be just above or below the player's number.
Right sleeve - The left of the sleeve is for the league patch, but the right of the sleeve can have a sponsor on.
Shorts - There is space on the back of the shorts, just at the top of the leg for another logo.
Online
Game poster - Game posters introduce the Aztecs, the opponent, and the details of the upcoming game. These are shared across Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
Match highlights - We record our games and produce our own highlights. These are posted on social media and YouTube, and have often got over 1000 views.
Goal of the season - At the end of the season, we compile our goals and have an online vote over the course of a week. It drives engagement and gets hundreds of views.
Shoutouts - The most basic is a weekly or monthly shoutout on social media. This would include a photo, brief paragraph, and a link to your page.
Individual Player Sponsors - This would include a monthly thank you post, your logo on all player specific posts, including videos and photos.
Awards - We have three awards; player of the season, top scorer, and goal of the season. Each can be sponsored, and presented with a trophy at the end of the season.
