THE FOUNDER
Aaron
Rutigliano
Founder & CEO · FOODBALL
Based in Rome
For 15 years, until 2025, Aaron ran GOLA, his restaurant in Chelsea, London. That experience gave him a deep understanding of what guests expect from a great meal and a memorable visit.
My passion for hospitality, combined with my love of marketing and football, inspired me to turn GOLA into GOAL with FOODBALL.
FOODBALL carries that hospitality experience into a dynamic setting: a place where food, every ball sport and live events bring families and fans together.
Now based in Rome, Aaron is developing the concept and welcoming conversations with clubs, venue operators and technology partners.
