About Our Club

Proudly wearing green and gold for Gympie, our football club was formed in 1983, and as such was one of the founding teams in the Gympie and Districts Soccer Association competition.

Golden City is a popular choice of club for families and players of all ages, with the aims of fostering a love of playing in a great team sport like football for fun and fitness, as well as developing player skills from an early age.

Our club not only encourages progressive skill development for players, but firmly believes in providing our volunteer coaches with the most up to date training available. We are lucky to have a dedicated Director of Coaching who takes an active interest in players and coaches of all age groups.

In summary, our Mission is to promote and foster the game of football and enable our members to:

• Achieve their full potential
• Improve their leadership skills
• Nurture and support each other through positive communication
• Have the courage to change
• Realise their dreams

Golden City History

Golden City Soccer Club Inc. was created in 1983, when it became one of the four founding clubs in the newly formed Gympie and Districts Soccer Association. The other teams were Diggers, Columbia and Lions.

By 1991, Golden City had branched out and was conducting training sessions for teams based in Kandanga. In 2001 the Kandanga teams formed their own club known as Valley Rangers, which became the fifth club in the Gympie Association.

Golden City then sought out new players in the Tin Can Bay areas – and once again our coaches travelled out of town to conduct training sessions for interested teams. Players from Tin Can Bay and the surrounding areas still play in our Gympie competition with Golden City fielding teams from those locations whenever possible.

At the Muster

For almost 10 years now, Golden City Soccer Club’s major fundraising venture has been the running of a food outlet at the internationally acclaimed Gympie Music Muster.

Golden City’s very efficient team of volunteers have a wonderful time working at the Muster, and some club members have been cooking up a storm there for many years now. In 1992 the club kicked off its Muster association by running a Paul’s Ice cream van. Three years later Golden City volunteers had progressed to selling baked potatoes and pancakes from a leased mobile kitchen. Since 2000 the club has had its own mobile kitchen, from which they are still trading on “The Hill” – cooking up delicious baked potatoes and pancakes for hungry Muster fans every August.
