Established in the heart of County Monaghan, Glaslough Villa FC has a proud history that reflects both the heritage of Glaslough village and the deep-rooted passion for football in the community. Over the decades, Glaslough Villa has grown from a modest village team into one of the most respected football clubs in the region, known for its commitment to fostering local talent and its dedication to the spirit of the game.

Glaslough Villa FC was founded by a group of passionate local football enthusiasts. At the time, football was becoming an increasingly popular sport across Ireland, and the founding members saw the potential for a community club that would bring people together. Starting out as a small team playing friendly matches against neighboring villages, Glaslough Villa quickly became a key part of the local sporting scene.

The early days were defined by a strong sense of community and volunteerism, with local families and businesses providing support to keep the club going. The original pitch was a simple field, and players often had to share equipment, but this only deepened the bonds within the club.

In the years that followed, Glaslough Villa FC began to grow, both in size and ambition. The club's competitive journey took off as they started participating in local leagues.

Throughout its history, Glaslough Villa FC has been more than just a football club – it has been a cornerstone of the local community. From organising charity matches and local events to offering football coaching for children and adults alike, the club has consistently sought to give back to the people of Glaslough.

The club's ethos has always been rooted in inclusivity and sportsmanship. Whether on or off the pitch, Glaslough Villa has maintained a culture of respect, hard work, and passion for the game. Over the years, countless friendships have been formed, and memories made, through the club’s activities.

Today, Glaslough Villa FC continues to thrive. With multiple teams across different age groups and competitions, the club remains committed to providing opportunities for players of all ages and abilities. The Glaslough Villa Academy is a particularly notable initiative, offering young players structured coaching to help them develop their skills and love for the game.

Our home ground, located at Anagap, has seen many memorable matches and continues to serve as a vibrant hub for the local football community
