Welcome, Steve Livingstone
Jacksonville Armada, President
Steve Livingstone is the president of Jacksonville Armada FC. He came on board as the first employee of Jacksonville’s new professional North American Soccer League team in October 2013 following 17 years of leadership in the National Football League, the last eight of which he spent directing in the areas of business development, sales and marketing for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Prior to immigrating to Jacksonville in 2005 from Scotland, Livingstone was the team president and general manager of the Scottish Claymores in the NFL Europe League. Steve began his professional sports career in media and journalism, where he was a sportswriter and editor with a number of national media outlets from 1991-1996.
With the Jaguars, Livingstone directed the club’s business development and marketing efforts from 2005-2013, during which he established the Champions Club, a highly successful fan volunteer program which assisted the team in selling and renewing over 10,000 season tickets.
More recently, Livingstone has built the Armada FC front office from scratch and directed the successful brand and competitive launch of the club, which debuted in front of 14,000 against the MLS Philadelphia Union at EverBank Field on February 7, 2015.
An optimistic amateur golfer in rare moments of free time, Steve is married to Jeanine and the couple have two daughters, Erin and Olivia.
