Ten years ago Spencer Owen built Hashtag United as an idea, a football club created in public, with millions watching the journey unfold online.
It began with matches against friends, creator teams…anyone up for a game. The matches went online. The views started climbing. Hundreds of thousands. Now millions.
What started as football content quickly became something bigger, a global community following every match and every Hashtag moment.
So we turned it into something real. Hashtag United became a real club.
We entered non-league and started climbing the pyramid, with the same community that watched it begin, now following every step.
Today the club continues to grow.
