We Chagos Islands Football Association (CHAGOSFA). For generations, my people, the Chagossian people, have carried a painful story—a story of forcible removal from our homeland in the Indian Ocean. We were scattered across the globe, and many of us found a new home right here in Crawley. Yet, the question of who we are and where we belong has never left us.
In the midst of this struggle, football became our answer. It is more than a game to us; it is a sacred space where we can reclaim our identity. The pitch is our homeland, and every goal scored is a victory for our history and our culture. This team is a symbol of our resilience and a beacon of hope for a people in exile. By joining us, you aren't just sponsoring a football club; you are becoming part of our story, helping us keep our community's heart beating strong.

Pitch Hire: Securing the facilities required for our training and matches in and around Crawley.
