Fan Controlled Football (FCF) is a live‑streamed professional sports league that blends live sports, fantasy engagement, and video‑game interactivity to let fans govern branding, personnel and play‑calling. Led by CEO Sohrob Farudi, FCF debuted in February 2021 and is Los Angeles, CA‑based; games are staged in a multi‑purpose studio arena in Atlanta and streamed on Twitch, NBCLX, Peacock, and DAZN. Season v1.0 generated nearly 10 million total live views on Twitch and became one of the top sports apps in the Apple App Store. The league launched with four teams (Beasts, Glacier Boyz, Wild Aces, and Zappers) and expanded to eight teams for Season v2.0 via NFT‑governed Ballerz Collective expansion teams. FCF is building NFT‑driven governance and play‑to‑earn mechanics, offering Ballerz NFT holders team governance rights, IRL VIP experiences, and discounted early access to NFTs. The company intends to use the Series A proceeds to expand operations and broaden its business reach; a nine‑week season was scheduled to kick off April 16, 2022.
