A Dream Born from the Playground
Greenbelt FC’s origins trace back to the late 2000s, when a group of young immigrant kids would gather after school to play soccer in the local parks. They came from different backgrounds, but soccer was their common language. They were high school students, balancing academics with a shared love for the game. Between 2007 and 2009, their bonds grew stronger on and off the field, forming the core of what would become Greenbelt FC.
It wasn’t just about the goals they scored; it was the sense of unity they built. In 2009, five of those boys, determined to keep their bond alive, decided to create a soccer team that would compete locally. What started as a humble, small team soon began to evolve into something much bigger.
Growth Fueled by Friendship and Community Spirit
Over the next decade and a half, Greenbelt FC grew exponentially. Former high school teammates came back to join, along with talented players from neighboring schools. The team now boasts over 40 members—each one a unique piece of the puzzle that keeps the club thriving. From spirited practices to fierce competition, the connection between players continues to strengthen the fabric of this community-centered club.
The key to Greenbelt FC’s success? It’s the family atmosphere. Whether you’re a founding member or a newcomer, there’s an undeniable sense of belonging. The club’s story is a reminder that the most powerful teams are built on more than just talent—they’re built on trust, loyalty, and shared dreams.
