BUFC proudly has players from over 12 countries ! We have players mark their city on a huge wall map to celebrate our common ground within our soccer community ! It is exciting to see the different influences from the variety of countries.

From November 2018 to January 6th, 2019 BUFC has secured turf time at the Keystone. These Sunday times will be set up tournament style as to provide the athletes with some game experience to practice their skills and build cohesiveness. 

Initially, BUFC was only going to have kids from 10 and up. However, when the younger siblings were attending, our coaches decided to create a group for them ! We have seen great improvement in our minis since August ! We are looking to build that group. If you have a 5-8 year old that wishes to play, please drop us a line ! 

September 2019 marks the first of it's kind -Futbol 5 - tournament in Manitoba ! 5v5 soocer played in an outdoor hockey rink. We plan on hosting this tournament annually. It was a blast! We look forward to hosting more tournaments like this one to help build our soccer community in Brandon and Westman.

BUFC is working on finalizing some fantastic fundraising opportunities to assist with some of the start up costs such as nets & balls, and jersey, shorts & socks kits. We are starting a 'buy-a-ball' donation wherein a ball can be purchased for the club on behalf of one of the athletes. We believe this supports the groundbreaking buy in for our community into the amazing program. If you would like to donate or have a fun fundraising idea - drop us a message !

Brandon United is committed to giving back to the community through charitable works & donations. The past two Christmas seasons, as a group we have had a non-perishable food drive, as well as a collection for household goods and children's items for the Samaritan House Ministries during our annual soccer family potluck supper. We recently donated all the items not sold from our fundraiser yard sale to Teen Challenge Thrift Store. We hope to continue to build this mentorship into our athletes. We believe strong community is the foundation for a more united future.
