And finally… a long distance effort in pre-season

Former-Sunderland superstar Wahbi Khazri is the subject of this week’s #ICYMI with a stupendous strike that is well worthy of Puskás Award contention. No other words necessary to describe a hit like this. Just watch.

On Saturday, the FSA took part in a double-header of games in Manchester and the south east that took place to promote our community-owned clubs and the women’s game.

It’s that time of year again that produces all sorts of comedy on the field as the players return to training and begin their pre-season friendlies. Here Augsburg’s Jeffrey Gouweleeuw is seen condensing the pure essence of pre-season into one spectacular own goal.

At the FSA we’re keen to promote the best practice when it comes to clubs talking to their supporters, as the benefits of engaging with fans are obvious – at least to us. One tool that’s become increasingly common in formalising those discussions is the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
