Welcome to CONTRABAND, ready to overhaul a dead sport!

Welcome.

You're here because you love Street Football, or because you're lost, either way that doesn't matter, the article will mean the same regardless. Street Football as we know it is a dead man walking, you may see the flashy Instagram or TikTok posts, but that's not a sign of life, it's a red flag waving in the wind for all to see.

‍

So who are we:

We're built by the Gone20 ecosystem with a focus on forcing Street Football to regenerate in a sustainable and professional way. We don't hold punches, but we also come with solutions. Our focus is to bring a professional atmosphere through professional marketing and business development strategies. This site will teach those who are willing to listen how to change the perception of the sport.

‍

And how will we do this?

Simple. We'll write, speak, teach, and straight up show you how to do it. First off, Street Football needs to be much more than social media posts with 20 minute half lives, we need a blog, where the half life is 2 years and is easily searchable by both search engines and AI chatbots , so.... we'll be that blog.

Street Footballers needs professional voices who they can listen to and take advice from to implement in their community, in their crew, or just to themselves. Hence, our podcasts with influential business leaders in the space will serve as that voice to the community.

Here's a serious question for you to stop and think about.... where do you go to learn how to run a Street Football club or how to even get involved? The answer couldn't be any easier, because there isn't anywhere. You have to fumble for years to figure it out because our community/sport is beyond toxically gated. So, again..., we'll sort this. Our College will have step by step guides on how to professionalise yourself, your crew, your local community, and how to go further. As well as lessons on how to improve as a player. Isn't that great, finally someone to help. About time right!

Don't get me started on networking. I'm sure we've all spent hours upon hours looking for other crews in your area or even globally by spamming keywords into the social media search bar, most of the time finding nothing. That's street football isn't it, couldn't be less organised if they tried. The solution.... check out our Organisations page where we have a list of all the crews globally, this'll save you so much time.

Here's the kicker. We're going overboard to say the least. Once a month we'll be dropping a report in our Reports section of the site, where we research and deep dive into a serious aspect of the sport. These reports will be long and dry, you may as well be at school. However these reports are the most important aspect of Contraband and our site. This is where you'll truly learn about the industry, what's shaping it, where it's going wrong, and how to stay ahead of everyone else who is too lazy to put in the work. These reports are essential.

Our goal:

Make Street Football EASY. Make it PROFESSIONAL. Make it REAL again.

Let's do it!
