About The Club

Sydney University Soccer Football Club (SUSFC) offers both elite and social football to both Sydney University students as well as the general community. With over 20 teams playing in a number of different competitions, the Club set-up may be a little confusing to the newcomer (and even to some us who have been here a while). To hopefully clear things up a little, here is an outline of the different parts of the Club.
