The Waratah Football club was founded in late 1916 by a group of men who just wanted to play football on weekends. They had no idea they were starting something special; a community club that has celebrated nearly 103 years together. The Waratah Football Club is the only club in the Northern Territory Football League with a continuous century-long history and the only club that has played in every year that the league has run. The club played their first game at the old Darwin Oval, which is now known as the Esplanade. This match introduced the famous red and white colours that are still worn by all Waratah teams today. Waratah Football Club have come from humble beginnings with the first clubhouse built at Fannie Bay oval in the 1950’s. In 2001,

The Waratah Sports Club was opened and a new home for the club was made at the iconic Gardens Oval in the heart of Darwin. These facilities continue to improve with the times, featuring a licensed bar, commercial kitchen, and state of the art technology within. The club has a strong history of success with 15 Men’s Premier League Premierships, 6 Women’s Premier League Premierships and 18 Men’s Division 1 Premierships, just to name a few. Waratah currently has over 500 players across 15 junior and senior teams, 160 members and countless, passionate supporters. The Waratah Football Club has an established program of providing children and women from the Tiwi Islands the opportunity to participate in sport in Darwin. The Waratah Football club provides this opportunity for approximately 48 children from the Tiwi Islands each year. These children would have otherwise had no opportunity to participate in sport over that period. Club mission

❤️🤍 NO MORE ROUND 🤍❤️

This weekend, Waratah Football Club proudly stands alongside the NO MORE Program and the wider football community to raise awareness and take a stand against domestic and family violence.

The NO MORE campaign is about bringing people together, starting conversations and encouraging everyone to play their part in ending violence.

A huge thank you to Narelle from the NO MORE program, who joined us at Club Night this week to speak with our players, coaches, volunteers and supporters about the importance of the campaign, the impact of domestic and family violence and the role we can all play in making a difference.

Central to the campaign is The Stand – a powerful symbol of unity, respect and our shared commitment to saying NO MORE to domestic and family violence.

Football is more than just a game. Our club brings together people of all ages and backgrounds, and we all have a responsibility to help create a community where everyone feels safe, supported and respected.

This weekend, we encourage our entire Tahs family to stand together, support the message and continue these important conversations beyond the football field.

❤️🤍 Waratah Football Club. United for NO MORE.
