The Opening

1990-2026

SUCCESS FROM THE START

The club was originally set up by Christine Dolly in 1990. This was the first time a club was set up to unite all the estates in Naas. Naas AFC rose from the street leagues where local estates would have their own teams and compete in a town competition. When formed Naas AFC competed in the DDSL. Naas AFC are now competing in the KDUL and are the largest club in the league.

1990

NAAS AFC FOUNDED

Naas AFC was founded on the back of a vision by local Naas woman Christine Dolly. Christine centralised the many teams in the town into one club. Taking up residence on pitches in the Caragh Road (a site we still call home today).

2019-2022

COVID CHALLENGES

Once Covid arrived in 2019 Naas AFC, along with most other sporting organisations found it increasingly difficult to operate under Covid safety restrictions. As a once thriving club pre Covid, our number dwindled. Once the Covid restirctions were lifted in 2022 our number swelled to almost 1000 players. This proved to be a massive challenge for the club as we embarked on recruiting volunteer coaches to cater for the increased numbers.

NEW MEMBERS

With the help of this grant funding, Naas AFC continued to see significant growth with the number of players hitting record numbers.

FIELDS LOCATION

The Finish

Naas AFC play their football at the Naas Sport Centre. This site consists of 3 full sized grass football pitches, One 7-a-side pitch and a 9-a-side pitch. The club is currently developing an astro training area to provide year round facilities for our players.

ACADEMY

Budding young footballers are invited to join our Academy. Our Academy meets every Sunday morning at 08.45 in the summer months and 09.45 in the Winter. Boys & Girls from five to eight years of age are welcome.

CHAMPIONS

Success at Naas AFC is not just about winning trophies. Seeing children develop and make friends is just as important. Our coaches prioritise development over a win at all costs mentality. After all a player that is supported and challenged will always give their best.
