Glasnevin FC football
Glasnevin FC gives local players a route through youth football, with Albert College Park D09RW29 Ireland at the heart of club football.
Club identity
The Diggers of Glasnevin
Glasnevin FC traces its roots back more than 140 years to employees of the nearby Glasnevin Cemetery. That origin gave the club its enduring nickname, The Diggers, and a strong connection to the north Dublin community.
Today the club combines that historic identity with a modern, inclusive pathway for players, families, coaches and volunteers.
Youth pathway
Academy foundations through DDSL football
The boys’ and girls’ academy welcomes children aged four to seven through Junior Academy U6 and Senior Academy U7 groups. The club’s underage structure includes DDSL schoolboy teams from U8 to U16 and girls’ teams, alongside Football for All opportunities.
Current age groups, team names, divisions and seasonal relationships are shown by the native Teams module, keeping each squad connected to its own competition record.
Colours and crest
Red and green Diggers identity
Glasnevin’s club constitution records green shirts, white shorts and red socks. The enhanced crest preserves the crossed shovels, cemetery tower, football and 1881 mark while giving the profile artwork a sharper dimensional finish.
The canonical club identity continues across connected teams, fixtures, results and standings.
Albert College Park and Griffith Park
Football grounds in north Dublin
Home matches and training take place in Albert College Park and Griffith Park, with academy sessions also using Beneavin College during part of the year. The connected DDSL record names Griffith Park as the club venue.
Fixture cards remain the authority for the exact pitch, date and kick-off attached to each team, especially when seasonal training locations differ.
Competition record
From DDSL schoolboys to senior football
Glasnevin’s pathway connects DDSL schoolboy and schoolgirl football with the Leinster Senior League and Amateur Football League. The senior men’s team competes in the Saturday Premier Division of the Leinster Senior League, while academy and Football for All programmes widen participation.
Use the native Fixtures, Results and Standings tabs to follow current published records for each connected 2026–2027 youth squad.
