Disclosure
Item 19 reports Affiliate-owned outlets rather than annual gross sales, so unit revenue is not directly comparable.

What do Soccer 5 franchise owners earn?
Soccer 5 does not disclose average franchise owner earnings in their FDD Item 19. Not all franchisors are required to make financial performance representations. We recommend asking existing franchisees directly about their financial experience.
What is Item 19 in the Soccer 5 FDD?

Disclosure is optional and formats vary; figures are typically gross sales, which is revenue before expenses, not profit. FranchiseVerdict extracts these figures directly from the Soccer 5 FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
What is Soccer 5's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for Soccer 5 (fewer than 10 loans on file). Charge-off rates are one way to gauge franchise risk, but not all franchise loans go through the SBA program. We recommend reviewing turnover and closure data in the FDD and speaking with current franchisees.

As of their most recent FDD filing, Soccer 5 has 6 total units in the United States, including 0 franchised units and 6 company-owned units.
Is Soccer 5 a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates Soccer 5 as a C-grade franchise with a verdict score of 41 out of 100 (higher is better), based on our analysis of investment costs, revenue data, SBA loan performance, and growth trends.
