Our Story

Woodvale FC was founded as Kingsley Junior Soccer Club in 1997 and prior to that was part of Kingsley Soccer Club. Despite the name, our club has always been based in Woodvale. The club was renamed as Woodvale FC in 2010 to better reflect our close links to local people, schools and businesses in the Woodvale area.

​

After struggling with numbers in its early days, the club has grown from strength to strength over the last decade, thanks to the tireless efforts of countless volunteers. The Woodies Mini Football Academy for players age 4-5 was set up in 2014, followed by the first Amateurs team in 2015, the launch of the Masters teams in 2016 and this year we had our first Metro team. Our overriding mission is to welcome players of all abilities, but the decision was taken to start running trials from 2018 to attract and retain the best community club players and to provide former NPL players the opportunity to continue playing football at a high level.

​

​​The achievements of our junior teams in recent seasons have significantly elevated the profile of Woodvale FC within the local football community. With multiple teams reaching finals and clinching league titles our junior teams have demonstrated not only talent but also discipline, teamwork, and a deep passion for the game.

​

Woodvale FC is proudly a community-driven club, powered entirely by the dedication and passion of our volunteers from coaches and team managers to parents who referee and run the line, and our hardworking committee members. Without these committed individuals, there would be no club.

​

Here’s to the future, one built on passion, teamwork, and the strength of our community. Together, we’ll continue to grow, support our players, and take Woodvale FC to even greater heights.
