“LEADERS ON THE FIELD & IN THE COMMUNITY”

Supporting our Community

As part of Suburban FC’s strategic plan, our Club is committed to building strong connections, fostering meaningful relationships, and creating a positive impact within our local community. We believe that our identity as a Club should extend far beyond the boundaries of the soccer field.

In recent years, just as we’ve grown on the field, we’ve also made significant strides off it. Through various initiatives, fundraisers, and community events, we’ve worked to make a difference. From club-wide efforts like our annual Christmas Toy Drive to team-led initiatives such as our U17 boys raising funds in 2023 for Adsum House, a shelter for women and children, our players continue to demonstrate remarkable character and development off the field, just as much as on it!

For us, seeing our players excel as compassionate and engaged members of the community is as rewarding as any trophy on the shelf! Below are some of the highlighted events & initiatives of which our Club has been, and continues, to be involved with!
