Blatteunited

Blatte United was founded in 2004 by a Omino Gardezi, Keke Medufia Kulego and Jakob Daschek.

The ex-pats came to enhance their career in America. But whether their careers were in Advertising, Finance, Restaurants or Movies, they all had one thing in common, an unyielding passion for the game.

Word eventually spread throughout New York about the club and its players. Soon, not only other well-known stars, but also former national team soccer players asked to join. Since then we have enjoyed a lot of success on the pitch as well as some excellent times off it (including some great off the field adventures).

What makes our team unique is its rich mix of individuals, a truly cosmopolitan squad who play football for the love it and in the spirit it should be played. It is this common attitude and our collective backgrounds as sons (and daughters) of immigrant families that bind us together. We are also proud of being perhaps the only football club to have the word 'Blatte' appear in its name!

We are also committed to an alternative football culture that actively challenges the corporate dominance of the game. We support an ideal of internationalism and friendship in football which can stand in opposition to the racism and violence which still persists in some areas of the game. We see football as a common cause that can bring people together and promote peace and understanding.
