STUDENT CLUB

The University of Birmingham offers a fantastic opportunity to get involved in football amongst our 5 teams. The club has been fortunate enough to play under the excellent management of Chris Bradley, who has previously worked with the likes of Aston Villa, Wolverhampton and the Australian national team at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Training three to four times a week with a game every Wednesday, the club takes it very seriously. This has helped to maintain a cohesive, friendly and competitive environment, giving each person the opportunity to improve as a player and a person. With the introduction of Saturday football next year, there are now even more opportunities to get involved and compete at a very high standard.

In total we have five men’s teams, three of which compete in BUCS; Midlands Tier 1 Division 1a, Midlands Tier 2 Division 2b and Midlands Tier 3 Division 3b. We also have two men’s development teams.
