Lions Fc

What Lions Fc does

Lions Futebol Clube (operating as Lions FC) is a private community football club founded on March 16, 2019 and headquartered at Rua da Mangabeira, 242, Mangabeira, in Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. The club's core proposition is athlete development through competitive participation in women's football, men's football, and women's Beach Soccer, with women as the primary segment. It maintains structured training — three sessions per week in the afternoon, held primarily at Parque Urbano da Macaxeira — staffed by a head coach (Yago Oliveira), a director (Andréa Melo), and technical consultants including Victor Marinho (Petrolina-PE).

The product portfolio covers Futebol Feminino (Fut 7, futsal, Beach Soccer), Futebol Masculino (Fut 7 and futsal), annual seletivas (open tryouts), and a recurring training program focused on technical, tactical, physical, and psychological development. Lions FC competes in state (Campeonato Pernambucano Feminino Fut 7, Taça Pernambuco de Futebol 7 Feminino, Copa SESC Pernambuco, Recife Bom de Bola), regional (Copa do Nordeste de Fut 7), and national (Brasileiro de Fut 7 qualifier) competitions, and has recorded notable results including Vice-Champion of the Copa do Nordeste de Fut 7 (2019) and Vice-Champion of the Taça Pernambuco de Futebol 7 Feminino, plus Fair Play and "Least Scored Against" awards.

The revenue model centers on competition and event-related streams (tournament fees and prize money), with no publicly disclosed pricing or commercial product sales. GTM is community-led: recruitment through neighborhood outreach in Recife, open tryouts, and visibility generated by competitive participation. The club is independently operated with no disclosed parent company, investors, or M&A activity; contact surfaces are a website, general email ([email protected]), and direct phone/WhatsApp numbers to the trainer and director.
