Bulls in the Backyard – Our Community

Macarthur FC delivers its community programs in collaboration with its key partners including the Macarthur Football Association, Southern Districts Football Association, Bankstown Amateur Football Association, Highlands Soccer Association and Southern Tablelands Football Association, who collectively represent more than 120 clubs and 40,000 players.

We work collaboratively with Campbelltown City Council and other Sydney South West councils, businesses, community groups, and tertiary educators with the vision to build a harmonious community through the world game.

Macarthur FC is committed to delivering incentives that address health and wellness, community cohesion and Indigenous programs.
