Is another football club possible? The rise and rise of Clapton Community Football Club, ft. Sukhdev Johal

THE FOOTPOL PODCAST

What can a football team do for its community? Is it possible to re-imagine the role of  football clubs? In this episode Guy and Francesco talk to Sukhdev Johal from Clapton CFC, East London's fan-owned football club with a strong social and political profile. From the iconic Second Spanish Republic-inspired jersey to Clapton's campaigns against homophobia, racism, sexism and intolerance and what it means to be a community club, including an invaluable Hardship Fund during the covid pandemic, Sukhdev tells the story of Clapton Community Football Club (and a bit of its future too!).
