Birmingham, UK. October 22nd, 2025 – A new football club is emerging in the heart of Birmingham, aiming to energise the city’s grassroots football scene and inspire a new generation of players and supporters.
Birmingham Albion FC, founded in 2025 by Kuwaiti investor Faisal Alserbel, is built on a simple but powerful idea that football can unite communities across cultures and backgrounds.”
Based in Birmingham, the club is currently preparing its registration with the Birmingham County FA and expects to compete in the local Saturday League during the upcoming season. Recruitment for players, coaches, and volunteers is now open as the club builds its first official squad.
“Football has always been about belonging,” says Faisal Alserbel, Founder and Chairman of Birmingham Albion FC.
“We want to create a place where people feel part of something bigger — where ambition, friendship, and community come together on and off the pitch.”
With its distinctive burgundy and gold identity and professional branding, Birmingham Albion FC has already attracted attention online for its polished image and clear vision. The club’s motto, “We Are Albion,” reflects its commitment to integrity, teamwork, and long-term growth.
Beyond football, the club intends to build partnerships with local schools and community groups, helping young people gain confidence and stay active through sport. Plans for youth programmes, friendly matches, and open training sessions are underway, reinforcing the club’s belief that success starts at the grassroots level.
“I could have bought a share in an existing club,” adds Alserbel,
“but I love the challenge of building something from the ground up — to see a dream grow from nothing.
I don’t want my investment to rely on someone else’s success; I want to create my own.”
As Birmingham Albion FC finalises its FA registration and continues developing its first team, the club invites local residents, sponsors, and volunteers to join its growing family.
