Starting A Football Club At 18 | The Story of Euston Lane FC

About this episode

Kamil shares his journey of founding Euston Lane FC at a young age and the challenges of building a football club.

In this episode of Life Through Ball, we sit down with Kamil, founder and owner of Euston Lane FC — a football club he started at just 20 years old. We explore the reality of building a club from the ground up — the vision, the challenges, and the responsibility that comes with leading players while still being early in your own journey. From organising fixtures and managing operations to taking his team abroad to face opposition like Rayo Vallecano’s B team, this conversation dives into what it really takes to turn an idea into a footballing project. This is a story about leadership, ambition, and creating opportunities through football — not just playing the game, but building something bigger than yourself.
