Kennedy Park, Wexford Town
Wexford Albion FC
Youth football for boys and girls from under 5 to under 16
Wexford Albion FC is a youth football club based at Kennedy Park on Whitemill Road in Wexford Town. The club’s official profile records 1973 as its founding year and describes a welcome for players from under 5 to under 16 in a fun, safe and friendly setting.
Club story
The sourced club story starts in 1973. Public club material does not name the founders or set out a year by year history, so those details are left open. Wexford County records place Wexford Albion in local sporting life by the early 1990s, while the club’s own channels show Kennedy Park as the centre of its present activity.
One of the strongest traditions attached to the ground is the Wexford Albion Mini World Cup. Club posts marked the 50th edition in 2021, and local coverage recorded the 53rd edition drawing large crowds to the ground in 2024. The edition count and the club’s 1973 founding date come from separate public records; no unsupported explanation has been added for the event’s earliest years.
Teams and player pathway
The club’s stated coverage runs from under 5 to under 16. Public posts show schoolboy football, girls teams and summer activity, while recent notices invite applications across age groups. That gives young players a route from first football through the older school age teams at the same club.
Wexford Albion appears in the Wexford and District Schoolboys League directory and in SFAI competition records. The club has also promoted girls only, goalkeeping and Football For All camp activity. Camp places and team entry can change each season, so families should use current club notices for the right age group.
IYF does not yet hold confirmed Wexford Albion team cards. A current full squad list, training timetable and named coaching directory were not available on an open club page when this profile was built. Those gaps are stated clearly rather than filled from old posts.
Ground and facilities
Clubforce lists the club address as Kennedy Park, Whitemill Road, Wexford, Y35 KX0D. Kennedy Park National School also identifies Wexford Albion as its neighbouring club. The ground page on IYF carries the map and visitor details.
Club posts confirm new fencing at the Kennedy Park pitch. Council minutes refer to a parking area opposite Wexford Albion’s pitch. Public sources checked for this build do not confirm the present arrangements for changing rooms, toilets, seating, refreshments or step free access. Visitors who need any of those facilities should ask the team contact before setting out.

Mini World Cup and community activity
The Mini World Cup brings teams and families to Kennedy Park and remains a visible part of the club calendar. Club channels also carry summer camp notices, open days, team results, registration calls and fundraising updates. Dates and booking windows change, so an older camp or tournament post should not be treated as a current invitation.
The club’s open description places enjoyment and safety at the centre of its youth work. Parents making first contact should include the child’s year of birth and ask which group is accepting players, which training night applies, what equipment is needed and how registration is completed.
Honours and records
A complete official honours list was not found on an open club page. Public posts record individual team successes and tournament results, but they do not form a checked senior honours roll. This profile does not turn isolated social posts into a club wide trophy record.
Joining and official updates
The quickest public routes are the official Facebook page and official Instagram account. The Clubforce directory confirms the ground address but keeps appointed contact names behind its sign in. No current public club email or telephone number was verified.
No suitable official club or facilities film was found. Match clips and third party uploads are not embedded in its place.
