The name Fuxito is derived from a combination fútbol (the international term for soccer) and exito (the Spanish word for success). The name was chosen to reflect the internationality of the site and the unifying aspect of a game that bridges differences in culture, language and social status.
Fuxito.com epitomizes the soccer lifestyle. What began as an thought of a Harvard soccer player in 1998 has rapidly grown into a company with a vision that is making the sports world's biggest names stand up and take notice.
Richard Powell, Fuxito.com's CEO and a former player on Jamaica's National Youth Team, saw inefficiencies in the current recruiting system for collegiate soccer in the U.S. Originally, he wanted to create a global platform for improving soccer recruitment but soon realized there was a need for a broader source of international soccer information.
The site represents Powell's original vision of online recruitment and is regularly visited by teams and coaches. It has grown beyond the vision with its own blend of content, community, e-commerce and news in a multi-lingual format.
Fuxito.com has become a showcase for the soccer community. It is set to be the number one online media source for soccer.
