Village Manchester Football Club (VMFC)

One of the world's oldest and largest inclusive football club. Competing in local leagues and facing other gay friendly teams around the UK and Europe.

Formed in 1996, we are one of the world's oldest and largest football clubs aimed at - but not exclusively - gay men. We play with a competitive, yet fun approach to the beautiful game. We are based in Manchester, United Kingdom and meet up every week for training before playing league matches at the weekend. During the summer we head to international tournaments to take on other gay-friendly teams. Sponsored by www.linten.co.uk

All of VMFC would like to send our very best wishes to Paul Welsh as he moves to Barcelona after an exemplary time with the club.

A phenomenal defensive midfielder, Paul joined VMFC in 2022. In the last four years he’s been a mainstay of a side which have been County Cup finalists, as well as GFSN Cup, EuroGames, and now Gay Games champions. A European and World Champion. Not a bad way to sign off.

Most importantly one of the nicest blokes about. Now go do what you were born to do, which is go do handstands in the sun. The club will be six abs and a great fella lighter.
