Bellevue Football Club is a Welsh football club based in Wrexham. They currently play in the North East Wales Division Three. The club has won a number of awards for their work in equality, diversity, and inclusion since forming in 2016.[2][3][4]

History

[edit | edit source]

The club was founded in 2016 after a discussion about starting a football team, between a group of friends under a tree at Bellevue Park in Wrexham. This is the tree represented prominently on the club badge.[5] In 2017 they joined the North East Wales League.[6]

The club emphasises inclusion of people from all backgrounds - in May 2025 it was reported that its teams included 17 different nationalities.[7] They have also been described as the "most diverse football club in the world".[8]

In January 2022 a match was played against a team from Wrexham Town Police Station, aiming to "break down barriers" through the use of football.[9]
