fc hartlepool

Founded in 1993, FC Hartlepool has grown from humble grassroots beginnings into one of the region’s most ambitious and community-focused football clubs. With over 50 junior teams, a thriving girls and women’s section, a competitive men’s first team, and dedicated coaches and volunteers, we provide footballing opportunities for players of all ages and abilities.

Our club competes in leagues across the North East, including the TJFA, RFYL junior Leagues, Durham FA competitions, and the Northern League Division 2. Whether you’re taking your first steps into football or playing at a senior competitive level, there’s a place for you at FC Hartlepool.

Built on strong values of respect, teamwork, and development, we are proud of our role both on and off the pitch. At Grayfields Enclosure—our home ground since 2021—you’ll find modern facilities including floodlights, seated stands, and our welcoming clubhouse opened in 2022. These upgrades have helped us create a fantastic matchday experience and a true hub for our community.

From weekend fixtures to midweek training, our mission is to develop confident players, inspire the next generation, and continue growing as a club that represents the heart of Hartlepool. FC Hartlepool is more than a football club—it’s a pathway, a community, and a family.
