DEAD AIR 412 PRESENTS: NO PERMISSION NEEDED — THE IRON CITY FC ERA BEGINS

They told us wait your turn.
They told us build it the “right way.”
They told us nobody would take it serious.

But Iron City FC was never built for permission.
It was built from pressure. From long nights. From people who stayed when it was easier to leave.

And now… this isn’t just an idea anymore.
This is a structure. A roster. A culture. A voice.

THE FULL ROSTER — EVERY NAME, EVERY ROLE, EVERY REP COUNTS

This is not a revolving door team.
This is not a highlight squad.

This is a group learning how to move together — game by game, mistake by mistake, win by win.

Captain

  • Tyler Woloshun

Players

  • Bernard Chibuye

  • Ciza Benjamin

  • Aidan Werner

  • Mwamba Lungu Jr

  • Manvendra Kumar

  • Collin “Bubba” Barner

  • Ricky Woloshun

  • Colby Fender

  • Josh Espinosa

  • Faustin Kabayiza

  • Joey Lewis

These are the ones putting in the work when nobody’s filming.
The ones building chemistry that can’t be faked.

You don’t see it yet?
You will.

COACHING STAFF — PLAYERS WHO LEAD FROM INSIDE

  • Judith Gaelle Dule — Coach / Player

  • Ittawat Techovongsakul — Assistant Coach / Player

This isn’t traditional.
This is hands-on leadership.

People in the system… guiding the system.

MANAGEMENT — BUILT FROM SACRIFICE

  • DJ — Manager

No corporate backing.
No safety net.

Just someone funding, organizing, and pushing this forward while balancing real life responsibilities.

Two jobs. One mission.

That’s the DNA of this club.

TEAM OPERATIONS — THE BACKBONE IS NOW SOLID

Iron City FC doesn’t move without structure anymore.

  • Rihanna Dittman — Co-Head of Team Operations

  • Niece Merritt (Montana) — Co-Head of Team Operations

From kits… to scheduling… to matchday execution — everything tightens here.

This is the part people overlook.
But this is the part that makes everything work.

No more scrambling.
No more guessing.

Just execution.

HISTORY MADE — AND IT’S ONLY THE START

This moment matters.

Judith Gaelle Dule becomes the first woman player in Iron City FC history.

Not because it looks good.
Not because it checks a box.

Because she earned it.

She competes. She leads. She belongs.

And now it’s official.

THE CULTURE EXPANDS — ENTER THE MIC

Iron City FC was never just about what happens on the field.
It’s about the conversations around it.

This month… we launch something different.

THE BARBERSHOP / HAIR APPOINTMENT PODCAST

Hosted by:

  • Steph Weez

  • Niece Merritt (Montana)

This is where the real stories live.

Unfiltered conversations.
Behind-the-scenes energy.
Voices that don’t get cleaned up for the public.

Players. Staff. Collaborators.
The ones who helped get this off the ground when it was just an idea.

This isn’t media.
This is culture documentation.

EVERY PLAYER HAS A STORY — AND NOW THEY’LL BE HEARD

We’re not stopping at one podcast.

Every player will have the opportunity to sit down for their own individual interview episode.

If they’re willing — their story gets told.

Where they came from.
What they’ve been through.
What brought them to Iron City FC.

At the same time, each player will receive an official headshot — giving the roster a face, an identity, a presence.

No more unknown names.
Now the city will see exactly who’s wearing the badge.

THIS IS WHAT WE STAND ON

We don’t hide mistakes.
We don’t run from losses.
We don’t rebuild every week.

We stay.
We learn.
We build.

This is development over ego.
Trust over shortcuts.
Culture over clout.

Street DNA. Warrior Energy.

FINAL WORD

We’re not finished.
We’re not polished.
We’re not pretending to be something we’re not.

But now… it’s real.

The roster is locked.
The structure is stronger.
The voices are coming.

And the city is about to understand what Iron City FC really is.

If you’ve been here — you already know.
If you haven’t — you’re late.
