Read MoreWelcome to Hobby FC. Where memories meet memorabilia. The place for football fans learn how to become collectors. Join the club!

Both a football hobby and fashion statement.
What’s not to love?!
Well, fakes and overpriced items, for example. Which are far more common than you think, but don’t worry…
From ‘retro’ replicas, to key condition indicators, Hobby FC will separate the opportunities from the pitfalls.
Technically this is ‘collecting’ … memories, that is! Ha!
There are a number of common misconceptions when it comes to the world of football travelling, but don’t worry.
The creators here at Hobby FC will give you our first-hand experiences as a ‘foreigner’ in different football territories in the world. Whether you copy us or not is totally up to you!
