Our History

A picture of players and supporters during a grassroots club fun day for Moorside Rangers

Founded in 1976, Moorside Rangers have steadily grown to become one of the largest grassroots football clubs within Manchester. We are one of only a small number of clubs to achieve a 3 star accreditation, the highest accolade from the Football Association.

We now operate around 30 teams and cater for players of all ages, from all backgrounds and all ability levels. From the foundation for players 4-6 years old, and then teams from U7 right through to open age including Girls specific teams and disability specific teams.

We have excellent facilities with a large club house, grass and all weather pitches across our Beechfarm and Agecroft sites as well as partnerships with local schools
