A sequence built around evidence—not shortcuts.

Phase 1 · Foundation

• Complete league, corporate and community governance documentation.
• Establish public information, community input and sponsor-outreach systems.
• Identify venue, insurance, medical, security and game-day requirements.

Phase 2 · Market proof

• Open clearly disclosed ticket-membership reservations when checkout is ready.
• Secure staged sponsorship commitments and local operating partners.
• Measure verified fan demand and complete the first public participation cycle.

Phase 3 · Football readiness

• Finalize venue and league schedule.
• Appoint football operations leadership and conduct controlled tryouts.
• Complete roster, equipment, travel, medical and game-day operating plans.

Phase 4 · Pilot and review

Operate the staged launch, publish a post-pilot review and determine whether the evidence supports continuation, recalibration or a larger 2028 program.
