THE COPYRIGHT
PRESENTATION
Because there are no national football museums in France or in the 167 other countries which are also major football nations, we think that it is important to leave an inter-generational footprint of our legends and clubs in the collective memory, with a resolutely national and international dimension for the joy of the billion fans worldwide.
This vast program was made possible through the encounter of sportsmanship and entrepreneurship. Ernest Eboue is a former professional Belgian football player (Standard de Liège, R.W.D.M. Brussels, K.V. Roeselare, F.C. Incourt and Club Roeselare), now President of an International Foundation for the integration of young people, Director of a Sports & Events Marketing Agency and Players' Agent. He was born to a family of 10 children, 5 of whom became great football players in Europe, in the footsteps of their famous dad Clément Eboue who was a renowned player and captain of the Tonnerre de Yaoundé team, alongside Roger Milla. As for Sébastien Gouezigoux, who launched the idea of the project back in 2010, he is a French entrepreneur originating from Brittany, active in the world of art and decoration for over 10 years, and a football lover. One of his prize possessions is a collection of portraits of football stars and other famous athletes.
Having come together through the coincidence of internet connections, they sealed their partnership in 2015, initially by filing for copyright of their concept in 168 countries, then by setting up a structure to manage the project, and subsequently by creating the international brand "National Football Museums" covering all of the Museums. Thanks to that, the first of the National Football Museums will soon come into being in France. It will eventually become part of the largest network of global football museums, preserving each country's local, regional and national identities.

THE MUSEUMS' SUPPORT FOR CHARITABLE CAUSES
Our intention is for each of the Museums to support a charitable cause while upholding the values of fair play and sharing and highlighting the sporting spirit that underpins Olympism. The privileged Foundations that will be showcased in our National Football Museums are still being selected. So far, we can tell you that they will mainly be youth oriented, as our way of helping them find the joy of life.

Use of the funds
The funds collected through this Crowdfunding operation will enable the National Football Museums' French team to grow and prepare the last phase for the construction of the 1st of our museums in France. Here are the resources still needed to complete each of the stages:
- Inventory of the collection fund (€150 K)
- Completion of the cultural project (€300 K)
- Architecture and Museography (€600 K)
- Construction of the Museum (€1,200 K)
Good to know
When you donate €100, €5 go directly to the partner crowdfunding platform (MIPISE). The remaining €95 is fully allocated to the project. Through your generosity, however modest, you will contribute to the creation of jobs since a Museum actually involves some 100 to160 jobs, depending on the final configuration chosen.
Donations and loans of historical memorabilia from private collections are also welcome. If you want to donate or loan us objects, magazines, jerseys, memorabilia, etc. please send your details to the following email address: direction@national-football-museums.com
