F.C. Business is the trade magazine for the UK, USA & ROI Football/Soccer Industries. Professional football is now big business. Competitive intensity on the field is matched by the demand for professionalism in how the business side of football clubs are run. Professional clubs must be managed as efficiently and effectively as leading businesses because the long-term success of a club is dependent on it. Speed, agility and excellence are now pre-requisites for success in the boardroom as well as the changing room. Published since 2004, F.C. Business advises clubs of best practice in running their football club. The magazine is distributed every six weeks to the key decision makers within the thousands of football clubs registered with the FA, IFA, WFA, SFA, FAI, The MLS & USL as well as all members of the European Club Association (www.ecaeurope.com), Player Liaison Managers, Player Agents & decision makers within the 42 County FA's, The Football Foundation, Sport England, FIFA, UEFA, The PFA & The LMA. The magazine is also received by the many other stakeholders in the game, from the FLA (Football Licensing Authority) to the NLFA (Non-league Footballers Association). In addition to that the publication is received by all relevant media and PR Agencies - many of which use F.C. Business (and mainly our Editor, Ryan McKnight) as a key voice on the industry.
