Huracan FC
They compete in a small Sunday league competition on Clapham Common but on Monday Huracan FC found themselves taking up page 3 of the Metro! The team were champions after their 4-0 victory on Sunday, however this wasn’t the reason they were put in the spotlight. They’ve accumulated over 2500 fans…in Argentina! Incredibly this makes them the 70th best supported team in the UK. Their Facebook page is used as a discussion point for tactics, player selection and score updates – most of the posts being in Spanish. Player manager Henry May established the club after returning from time spent living in Buenos Aires in 2009, when he became a fan of top Argentinian team Club Atletico Huracan. Henry who lives in Brixton said that popularity grew at a rate of knots when the strip was given away as a prize and the team got a shout out on the radio. To find out more about the team click here
