Our History & Heritage
From humble beginnings to a community powerhouse.Brookvale United
The club began life as Brookvale United Soccer Football Club, just four years after the MWFA commenced. We remain one of the longest surviving clubs still playing as an individual entity.
Becoming Manly Vale
Following a unanimous vote, the club was renamed to give the lads of the growing township a true “home town” club.
Premier League Glory
The benchmark team featuring the Hennessy and Smuts brothers secured the flagship Men’s Premier League title for the first time.
- Men’s Premier League Champions
The Undefeated Era
A golden generation of juniors, including future Socceroo Ian Gray, went undefeated for years and won back-to-back State Cups.
- U18 State Cup Winners (x2)
Women’s Dynasty
Tony Bruzzano’s Women’s Premier League squad dominated the competition, winning three consecutive titles.
- 3x League Champions
- FNSW Champion of Champions (2011, 2012)
The Family Club
Grounded in the legacy of families like the Wainwrights, Grecos, and Sestanoviches, we have grown to over 2,000+ active members playing the ‘Manly Vale Way’.
