About Fair Shot FC

United by a love of the game

The players of Fair Shot FC bring with them different languages, life experiences, and backgrounds. All are from refugee backgrounds, but first and foremost they are football fans. Now, they have the chance to come together and play the game they love.

On the pitch, they share one universal language: the beautiful game.

David

Meet The Coach: David Simmons

Now he’s training a multi-national band of brothers as Fair Shot FC's coach, David is picking up a few new languages along the way. Most importantly, he uses the language of football to get his message across to the players, not only ensuring they are ready for every match but making sure they are working together and enjoying every minute. Having already enjoyed success as the coach of Changing Lives FC, David is set to continue his great work with another great community movement.

Liubov

Meet The Coach: Liubov Liushnenko

Much like many of the players who make up the team, Ukraine national Liubov was displaced from her country due to conflict. But having found a home in the UK, Liubov also found another home in football and with Fair Shot. Now, six months into coaching, Arsenal fan and very handy left-back Liubov has the chance to share her expertise and her experiences with fellow refugees and football fans.
