A special shout out to the Dad coaches, team managers and committee members who make the Swifts such a special community club, you are valued by our players and community and we couldn’t do it without you!

⚽️ Maribyrnong Swifts FC AGM 2026 ⚽️💜
What a season. What a club.
Tonight we held our Annual General Meeting and took the opportunity to reflect on another incredible year for the Maribyrnong Swifts community.
To every player, coach, team manager, volunteer, committee member, sponsor, supporter and family member, thank you. Our club exists because of the passion, care and commitment of so many people who give their time to create a safe, inclusive and welcoming place for women, girls and gender-diverse people to play football.
Congratulations to our newly elected committee and thank you to those who have served over the past 12 months and beyond. Your efforts behind the scenes make an enormous difference.
As we celebrate another successful season and look ahead to 2027, we’re incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved together. The growth of our club, the friendships formed, the football played, and the community we’ve built are something truly special.
Here’s to another year of football, connection and empowering everyone to belong in the game. 💜

15 years ago, Maribyrnong Swifts FC began with a simple but powerful idea: create a place where girls and women could play football, feel welcome, build confidence and belong.

From those early days to the thriving club we are today, so much has changed — but what matters most hasn’t.

💜 The girls who found their love of football here.
🖤 The women who kept playing when opportunities weren’t always there.
💜 The coaches, volunteers, committee members and families who have given their time and energy.
🖤 The friendships, memories, goals, celebrations and challenges shared along the way.

Today, the Swifts community is bigger, stronger and more diverse than ever — welcoming women, girls and gender-diverse players of all ages and abilities.

And our vision remains the same: to create a safe, inclusive and supportive environment where everyone can enjoy football and feel empowered through the game.

15 years of football.
15 years of community.
15 years of breaking down barriers.
15 years of Swifts. 🦅💜

To everyone who has pulled on the uniform, coached, volunteered, supported from the sidelines, scored a goal, chased a ball, washed a kit, run a canteen, organised a team or simply called the Swifts home — this milestone belongs to you.

Here’s to celebrating where we’ve come from, who we are today, and everything still to come.

Happy 15th birthday, Maribyrnong Swifts FC! 🎉

We’re looking forward to welcoming all members to the MSFC Annual General Meeting next Tuesday 3 September, starting from 6:30pm in the clubrooms.

With a few committee members stepping down, we’re actively seeking volunteers for key positions:

- Secretary
- Equipment Manager
- Canteen Manager
- Sponsorship Manager
- Technical Director (higher volume of duties and qualifications required)

If you’re thinking about volunteering or would like to learn more, feel free to reach out to any current committee member—we’re here to help.

The AGM is a great chance to hear updates from the President and Treasurer, reflect on the year’s achievements, and connect with fellow members.

We’d love to see as many of you there as possible!

Our U8 MiniRoos teams played off against each other today. It was a glorious display of club and team support and incredible to see such great skills from our young players!

Great to see the families supporting in style! 🤩

Council has advised the following. Due to the rainfall ALL Sportsgrounds are to be closed today, Monday August 10th and no activity can take place on the reserves under any circumstance.

Please spread the word and share with all members

In honour and remembrance of the lasting impact Sarah Carter had in the local community, the Maribyrnong Swifts FC will be hosting Sarah Carter Round.

Join us as we honour the life and legacy as cherished member of our community, who we lost 2 years ago.

All profits from canteen sales will be donated to Save the Children in Sarah’s memory, helping to create a better future for children everywhere.

Come along, show your support, and be part of something meaningful.

The club was thrilled to welcome Football Victoria last night as part of the CCC program (club coach coordinator) designed to provide dedicated coach support to our amazing coaching cohort!
It was cold and dark but importantly highly valuable!
