Since 1964

Our story

Phoenix FC was founded in 1964 with a simple idea: every child in the area deserves somewhere to play football. Six decades later, that idea still drives everything we do.

Our story began on the Navan Road in Dublin 7. Today, Phoenix FC brings together players and families from Dublin 7 and Dublin 15, including Ashtown, Castleknock, Blanchardstown, Cabra and Finglas. It starts with Little Nix, our youngest players aged four to seven, taking their first steps with a ball at their feet. From there, children can grow with the club through every age group, all the way to our Youths and Senior teams. Our girls’ section is growing every season. We do our best to accommodate everyone who wants to play, though places depend on the age group and team size.

Behind it all are our coaches. Every one of them is a volunteer, giving up their evenings and weekends because they care about the kids and the club. Every one is Garda vetted and safeguarding trained, so parents can trust that their children are in good hands.

Our grounds are Scribblestown, Dunsinea Lane, Ashtown, and Martin Savage Park in Dublin 7. Whether your child is kicking a ball for the first time or you’re looking for a club to call your own, our door is always open.

Come and play. Come and belong.
