Become an owner of Clyde F.C.
Own a real stake in a historic Scottish football club and help shape its future
Founded in 1877 on the banks of the River Clyde in Glasgow, Clyde Football Club is one of the oldest football clubs in the world, has won the Scottish Cup three times and is proudly Scotland’s first supporter-owned club.
Clyde F.C. is already owned by supporters in 12 countries. In the US alone, we have owners in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Missouri and Maryland, and a club director also based in Texas.
Now, as we approach our 150th anniversary with our sights on a bold return home to Glasgow and a return up the leagues, there has never been a better time to become an owner of the club!
For the price of an NBA shirt, or less than the cost of one NFL or NHL match ticket, you can become an official owner of the club and enjoy voting rights and exclusive benefits and be part of a global supporter community.
