Hear our story behind our Football Network

The Business of Football Network was founded by David Chimbaza a university student who wanted to bridge the gap between ambition and opportunity in football. Like many, he dreamed of a career in the game — but quickly discovered that breaking into the industry often comes down to access, connections, and understanding how the business really works.

That challenge became the spark for TBOFN. What started with a podcast — a series of open, honest conversations with leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals in football — has grown into something bigger: a network.

Today, TBOFN brings together podcasts, news coverage, interviews, and live content to explore the business of football from every angle. From transfer market insights and club strategies to the stories of the people building companies, agencies, and platforms around the sport, we aim to show what football looks like behind the scenes.

But at its core, TBOFN is about people. It’s about giving aspiring professionals students, entrepreneurs, analysts, and creatives a platform to learn, to share, and to take their first steps into the football industry. Opening doors through our international football network. From the USA , Bahrain to Singapore, we look to bring more, exclusive international platforms to our members in The Business of Football Network.

This is just the beginning. TBOFN is building a community where the next generation of football professionals can connect with those already shaping the game. Our mission is simple: to make the business of football more open, more accessible, and more inspiring than ever before.
