Building Ventura’s Football Club

A Message from Our Founder

A young man in a baseball cap and hoodie walking outdoors, seen in black and white, with a blurred background of trees and a building.
“The U.S. soccer system is broken. It’s a pay-to-play model that favors the wealthy and leaves far too many players priced out of opportunities. Everyone knows it’s broken, but very few are actually doing anything to fix it.

San Buenaventura FC exists to do exactly that.

I founded this club to change the game and to be different. To flip the script and put players and community first. To create opportunities and a platform for future generations without the financial barriers that define today’s system. To prove that there is another way.

Ventura is my home. I was born and raised here. This community shaped who I am. I’ve seen the talent that lives in Ventura County. Real, raw, undeniable talent. Players who deserve a platform. A community that deserves a team to call its own.

And I’m going to make that happen.”
— Cameron DeJong, Founder
