Seniors (ages 19 and above)
We have a number of players who have been with FC Birrarung since the club started in 2007. We were very excited when these players and their teammates from the U21 team asked to keep paying with the club, so last year the Committee decided to field our first seniors team in 2022!
In 2023, we anticipate being able to field our first women’s team as our senior girls players also come of age.
If you are keen to join our new senior’s team, please let us know!

FC BIRRARUNG BOUNCE BACK FROM COVID FUNDRAISING APPEAL
Like many community sporting clubs, Covid-19 caused significant financial strain for FC Birrarung and the committee continues to do everything we can to minimise the damage and continue to provide opportunities for girls and boys to play and train.
We have set up a fundraising appeal to help the club bounce back strongly from the impact of Covid and funds raised will be used for:
- programs to encourage girls participation
- sponsorships for financially disadvantaged players
- programs to encourage the participation of junior players
- the purchase of much-needed equipment
Through the club’s fundraising partnership with The Australian Sports Foundation, donations of $2 or more are tax deductible.
FC Birrarung is a junior soccer club for girls and boys aged 5 to 20 years of age. We are a community club dedicated to fun, long term player development and fair play.
