Welcome to the Glenroy Football Club

---

Glenroy Football Club is an Australian rules football club located north of Melbourne in the suburb of Glenroy. Founded in 1946, the club is affiliated with the Essendon District Football League, fields two open age teams, one Under 19.5, and eight junior teams.

Sporting the great colours of Red & White, and with the Wallaby as its emblem, Glenroy Football Club is warmly referred to by all as The Mighty Roys.

With a traditional jumper of red with a white sash running from players hearts (left shoulder) to their right hip, the jumper design has never been altered from the club's first ever game in 1946 to today, giving the club a great sense of pride and tradition for members and supporters alike.
