Puma FC

What Puma FC does

Puma FC is a private, for-profit sports organization headquartered in Manhattan, United States, founded in 2010. The company operates in the youth and amateur soccer participation market, offering soccer camps, training programs, and tournaments to players and families in its service area.

With between 11 and 50 employees and a web presence at pumafc.org, Puma FC operates at the small end of the US youth soccer industry. The company generates revenue through fees from program participants, including registration fees for camps, recurring or seasonal training subscriptions, and tournament entry fees. Its go-to-market is local and event-driven, leveraging community soccer participation and family-driven enrollment in the Manhattan metropolitan area.

Data quality note: input data also references Pumas UNAM (Club Universidad Nacional), a professional Mexican football club founded in 1954 and affiliated with UNAM in Mexico City. That data is treated as describing a distinct entity and is excluded from this analysis, because it conflicts with Puma FC's firmographic profile (US-based, founded 2010, 11-50 employees, soccer camps/training/tournaments focus).
