BUILT BY FOOTBALLERS.
NOT JUST
ORGANISERS.
We live the sport. We don't rent it.
2018. Four friends. One team.
It didn't start with a business plan.
We met at a corporate football tournament in 2018. We wanted more football, so we formed our own amateur team, Fnatic FC.
Then we started organising our own tournaments, the Fnatic Memorial Cups: jerseys designed, dates set, trophies ordered, costs shared. Over seven years, we ran twenty-plus of them.
Hyderabad had once had a strong corporate football scene, but it faded after COVID and nobody rebuilt it. In December 2025, we asked a simple question: why stop at our own team?
Shorgoal was born. Shor means noise. Goal means goal. That's what we make.
THE FOUR
WHO STARTED
IT.
Four friends. A shared love for football. What began as an amateur team turned into 20+ tournaments, and now Shorgoal.
