/ About Us /
The history of our football club begins at the end of 2010 when a small group of graduates from the University of Manchester made up their minds to continue their passion for playing football.
A few years later, in 2012, they organised a football club which entered regional leagues, gradually climbing the ranks. That was the Lions Football Club.
