ABOUT DANDENONG WEST

Welcome to the Dandenong West Football Netball Club, where passion meets history to form the backbone of our thriving community. Dandenong West Football Netball Club was established in 1963 and initially a junior club that fielded boys teams of various age groups.

With a strong foundation, in 1987 the club had enough seniors to enter the Eastern Suburban Churches Football Association for the first time. We are a small community based football Club with a strong history in the Dandenong area, with a passionate support base, we celebrate the spirit of teamwork and resilience that defines us.

The Dandenong West Football Netball Club, currently compete in the SFNL | Southern Football Netball League with two Senior football and Netball teams. The Southern Football Netball League as we know it today is made up of clubs spread over a vast geographical area of the southern and south eastern suburbs of Melbourne. Stretching from Port Melbourne in the inner south, Cranbourne in the outer south east to Mornington in the south.
