One FC Two Years Anniversary
Two years in, ONE FC is already entering an important stage in its journey, continuing to grow while staying true to the vision that shaped it from the beginning.
What started as an ambitious project has quickly become a strong and evolving platform for young player development. Over the past two years, ONE FC has built more than a club, it has created an environment where players are pushed to improve, develop the right habits, and grow within a structure designed to reflect the standards of the modern game.
During this time, the club has also established itself in the United States through a clear identity and a development model shaped by European standards. This influence is a key part of what makes ONE FC unique. The project is led by Blaise Matuidi, Kieran Gibbs, and Sylvain Marveaux, three former top-level players whose experience continues to shape the club’s vision and methodology.
Through its coaching staff and the philosophy passed down by its founders, ONE FC has implemented a European approach to training, one built on discipline, technical quality, game intelligence, and the daily demands required to help young players reach the next level. Their influence is visible throughout the structure of the club and in the way development is approached every day, creating an environment that brings young athletes closer to the reality of the professional game.
As the club reaches this two-year milestone, the founders reflect on what has been built so far:
Blaise Matuidi: “I’m proud of what we’ve built over the first two years. Giving back to young players has been our goal from day one with Sylvain and Kieran. Seeing them improve every day is a real success for us.”
Kieran Gibbs “Looking back at the first two years of ONE FC, what we’re most proud of isn’t just the growth, but the environment and culture that is being built. ONE FC has created a place where players are challenged, supported, and given a real platform to develop. It is a huge privilege to have this opportunity, thanks to Blaise and Sylvain, who I’m a big admirer of. The foundation of what they in particular have created feels like just the beginning of what’s possible.”
In just two years, the club has already taken meaningful steps forward. From its foundations in Miami to its continued expansion, and the new chapters now opening in other markets, ONE FC has grown with purpose. Each stage of that growth reflects the same intention: giving young players access to a serious, demanding, and inspiring environment where they can continue to raise their level.
That progress is not only measured by expansion or results. It can also be seen in the culture that has been built around the club. ONE FC has created a setting where players are challenged every day, where families can trust the process, and where development is approached with patience, consistency, and high standards.
Reaching the two-year mark is an important moment. It offers a chance to look back at everything that has already been built, while also highlighting where the club is heading next. The foundations are now in place, the identity is clear, and the ambition remains as strong as ever.
For everyone who has been part of the journey so far, players, coaches, families, and supporters, this anniversary reflects the work that has gone into building ONE FC day after day. It is also a reminder that the project is still only at the beginning of its story.
Two years on, ONE FC continues to grow with the same energy, the same vision, and the same commitment to helping the next generation develop in an environment that prepares them for more.
