SPACE UNITED
Space United is the world's first space-driven soccer club, founded by the Tobacia Brothers — Latino athletes turned space engineers with careers at SpaceX and Blue Origin. Our mission is to connect billions of global sports fans to the future of space exploration, making it feel relevant, exciting, and within reach.
We operate through three purpose-built verticals: Space United Football Club, our expanding soccer club built for a professional debut as early as 2027; Space United Academy, our K-12 youth program blending soccer training with space-focused curriculum; and Space United Labs, our sports-in-space innovation platform where engineers, athletes, and students prototype the future of athletics beyond Earth.

“I’m going to bet big that Space United will accomplish the things that they have set out to do. Any group of people that can figure out how to send rockets into space and are as passionate as they are, gets my backing to achieve whatever they have set out in front of them. ”

OUR STORY
In 2014, we founded Space United and began our mission of using space & soccer as a force of hope and inspiration to communities around the world. Read more about our Origin's club.
Space & soccer are two of the world's greatest feats. They give hope, the means to achieve and change lives. We want people from all walks of life to be inspired by what they are capable of and not only stop at being inspired but continue to find support in a community that values sharing each other’s success.
At the very core of Space United’s mission is the message behind our founder’s story: success that starts with one can help and touch the lives of everyone around them.
