Founding Years

MJFC was established in 1957, born out of a shared vision by a group of local football enthusiasts who wanted to create a space where young people could develop their skills and love for the game.

The early days saw a small but passionate group of players and volunteers come together on community fields, laying the foundation for what would become a thriving football club.

Growth and Development

Throughout the years, the club experienced significant growth, both in terms of membership and reputation. As football gained popularity in the region, MJFC expanded its programs to accommodate players of all ages and skill levels. The introduction of the MiniRoos program marked a major milestone, allowing even the youngest players to join the MJFC family and begin their football journey.

The club’s focus on development, community involvement, and sportsmanship quickly earned it a reputation as a leader in youth football. With each passing season, more families joined the MJFC community, attracted by the club’s commitment to providing a positive and supportive environment for all players.

Community and Culture

At the heart of MJFC’s history is our unwavering commitment to community. The club has always been more than just a place to play football; it’s a community hub where friendships are forged, and life lessons are learned. Our culture of inclusivity, respect, and teamwork has been cultivated over decades, creating a welcoming environment for players and their families.

MJFC’s involvement in local events, charity initiatives, and school partnerships has strengthened our ties to the community. We believe that football is a powerful tool for bringing people together, and we are proud to play a role in the social fabric of Maitland.
