Humans United FC is a multimedia storytelling brand committed to sharing the human experience through the lens of sport. We’re a multi-talented collective of people elevating stories of the beautiful game which often go overlooked.

Whether you’re using a makeshift or a handstitched ball, footballers come from all walks of life.
Come join host Joe Shaw as we explore some of the most interesting stories the world hasn’t heard YET. Through audio, video, photos, or articles you’ll become familiar with names like Kim Wyant and the 85ers, Jaiyah Saelua and the American Samoa World Cup Qualifying victory, names you might have overlooked but whose impact carries through today.
We invite you to unite under the banner of football, futbol, soccer, whatever you call it. Come share your stories and learn about other’s. We're all unique and the power of sport amplifies and elevates our differences, forming life-long connections.

Humans United FC
A purpose-driven soccer team (ft. Mike Geddes)
Mike Geddes has always loved the beautiful game but it wasn't until he started covering the game as a journalist that he discovered his true purpose.
Mike's passion for making the world a better place led him down the path towards what would ultimately become Oakland Roots SC, a United Soccer League (USL) Championship club (US's 2nd professional soccer tier).
Oakland are much more than simply a soccer club. Oakland are trying to overturn systems of inequity, build community, and show how soccer can change the world. According to Mike, Oakland are a "purpose-driven club".
In this first episode of the current season Mike stopped by to share his connection to soccer and what a new fan might want to know about the Oakland Roots and their social ambitions.
Enjoy!
