FC Nelson was established in 2011 through the joining of four clubs, Nelson City, Metro, Tahuna Juniors and ex-National League side and Chatham Cup winners Nelson United.

FC Nelson is based at Guppy Park, where our new Club Hub will be based.  Programmes are also based at our other grounds in the Nelson Central area; Neale Park, Victory Square, Botanics and Maitai Cricket Ground.

We provide football programmes for everyone; First Kicks, Fun Football, Junior, Girls, Youth, Senior Women, Senior Men, Masters.

Community is at the heart of the club, with a variety of cultures coming together under the universal language of football, including local Chin, Nepalese, Karenni and Colombian communities among others.

Such communities are inherent throughout the club – we represent the diversity of our local Nelson community and actively continue working on practices to proactively improve inclusiveness, acceptance, connectedness and to break down barriers.

We are one club and one community, united with a common passion for the beautiful game. Our long term aim is to make football accessible and enjoyable at all levels of the game and to give players of all ages and coaches the chance to develop to whatever level they aspire to, while at the same time helping everyone to become good, connected humans.
