Alamein’s Story
Empowering the future
of women’s football
Alamein FC is Victoria’s only all-female player football club to field teams in every age-group of both Junior and Senior NPLW.
We guide and support female players of all ages from across the City of Boroondara and greater Melbourne, with NPLW squads, Junior NPL (VYPLG) squads, and junior Academy (development) squads. Alamein is a place for girls who not only want to participate in football, they want to develop and excel. And they want to do it in a safe and supportive environment.
Our Senior players, competing in the elite, professional NPLW league, share training grounds with the junior players, and this creates a unique environment that fosters role models and mentoring opportunities. Through formal sessions and informal conversations with the junior players, they teach the younger girls resilience, positive mindset, skills training and pathway opportunities, helping to make Alamein FC a uniquely nurturing and character-building place to learn and play.
Our history
Alamein FC was established in 2015 as part of Football Victoria’s initiative to elevate the women’s game through the creation of the National Premier Leagues Women’s (NPLW) competition.
From the outset, Alamein FC set out to be more than just a football club: it aimed to become a leading force in female player development, offering a clear pathway from junior to senior elite levels. The club's name pays tribute to the Alamein train line that runs through Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, connecting the community and reflecting the club’s strong local roots in Ashburton.
Since its inception, Alamein FC has built a proud legacy of nurturing talent and empowering young women through football. The club quickly became known for its competitive edge on the pitch, supportive culture, and commitment to developing “good humans” as well as great players.
Over the years, Alamein FC has produced numerous players who have gone on to represent Victoria and Australia at state and national levels, while also becoming respected contributors to the sport and their communities, including Matildas Melissa Barbieri, Jacynta Galabadaarachchi and Emma Checker; A-Leaguers Amy Jackson and Hannah Keane; and Young Matildas Erin Prince, to name just a few.
With a focus on unity, integrity and passion, Alamein FC continues to grow as a hub for aspiring female footballers. The club remains dedicated to excellence both on and off the field, proudly shaping the next generation of strong, skilled, and resilient young women in football.
Crest & Colours: United in history, driven by purpose
Alamein FC is proudly based near the Alamein train line in Melbourne’s east, our name inspired by both the local suburb and a pivotal moment in history: the Battle of El Alamein, a turning point in WWII marked by perseverance, teamwork, and courage.
Like the soldiers who stood together in that fight, we move forward as one, committed to overcoming obstacles and rising together. Just as that battle symbolised strength, strategy, and unity under pressure, our club is built on the same values of resilience and togetherness.
