Meet MOB Football – The University Football Community Seeking To Provide Opportunity To All
August 3, 2021
By Adam HenleyMOB Football is a football community ecosystem which exists within the university sector. It seeks to integrate different cultural societies and communities represented by the wide variety of nationalities and cultures of students in university using football. Essentially, MOB Football creates a football environment for students to play, network and have fun.
The inspiration for MOB Football started out when its co-founders Mohamed and Oba found themselves in a tough situation as the sports representatives of the East African Society (EASOC) and the African and Caribbean Society (ACS) at the University of Bristol respectively. The problem arose as society members were unable to engage with the university-provided intramural service due to the financial costs, and quality of the service provided. Having organised friendly football games in the past between friends and acquaintances, both Mohamed and Oba decided to start a football league for the cultural societies within the university at a financially sustainable rate for students, with the intention of using football as a tool to break down barriers of culture and race within the university.
Consequently, MOB Football has started recording and releasing footage of games, chaired by their Social Media and Technical officer, Kosi Anyim, in collaboration with 144 Sports on their YouTube and social media platforms, so that they can show this innovation to the world scene. MOB Football’s vision over the next few years is to continue its work in Bristol, as well as expand to different universities and make this project countrywide!
People can participate by contacting MOB Football on their social media platforms. At the moment, MOB Football is based in Bristol, so living or studying in Bristol is necessary. Whether you have a team ready to play and try and win the cash prize as well as being on YouTube and having memories with mates for life, or are an individual who would like to join a team and play, MOB Football caters to all.
For those who may not yet be able to get involved but still looking to keep up to speed, be sure to engage with their latest on goings via social media pages and video content through the brands YouTube page.
