Our Story

Born in 2023 in San Francisco

Bluff City FC arose when a group of guys who enjoyed playing together wanted to build their own culture based on core values of Accountability, a sense of Brotherhood, and the willing to compete. We started in 8v8 leagues, and after making the finals our first two seasons, we wanted to raise our level of competition and joined the SFSFL league subsequently. While we didn't win the league our first season, we built a strong core around which we are continuing to build. Are you our next star?

Why Bluff City?

First and foremost, Bluff City is a pretty dope name.

Further, one of the nation's greatest cities shares this moniker. Situated on bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River, the city of Memphis, TN is colloquially referred to as the "Bluff City" after the terraces that guard its riverbanks. While being an amazing cultural center of food and music, Memphis is a tough, poor city whose residents must work hard to make it to a better life. Bluff City FC derives its ethos from a willingness to embrace hard work and believes that a group of players that work together — as a unified team — with Accountability, Brotherhood, and Competitiveness as its values – can achieve heights well beyond their abilities.

Vision for the Club

The near term vision for the club is to build a strong cultural foundation based on its values. The club will compete in different 8v8 leagues and the Sunday SFSFL men's 11v11 league, and is looking to bring on additional high-level players to accomplish this goal.

The long term vision for the club is to be a positive force in its community, providing the infrastructure for youth to grow their soccer skills, support in professional development, and individual skills training. The club has applied for non-profit status towards that end, and is hoping to integrate with other local non-profits to provide community-focused events in the medium term.
