Home Farm Football Club

Home Farm Football Club is an Irish association football club based in Whitehall, Dublin. It was founded in 1928. The club joined the League of Ireland in 1972 after merging with Drumcondra. Following this merger they were briefly known as Home Farm Drumcondra. Between 1995 and 1999 they played as Home Farm Everton before a split within the club led to the formation of Home Farm Fingal (later Dublin City). The original Home Farm reverted to junior status. Home Farm is perhaps best known for its youth system which has produced dozens of players who have gone on to play for clubs throughout the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom. In addition many have also gone on to represent the Republic of Ireland at international level. The Player Comes First Activities and decisions in the Club will be based on the needs of the sporting and educational development of players and their physical and mental health, regardless of age, gender or race. The main objective of the club is the development of young people through the medium of football. The development of young people as footballers will provide them with principles of exercise, application and discipline that should stand them in good stead in other aspects of their lives and imbue in them the principles of a continuous healthy lifestyle. Once a player has been accepted as a playing member of the club, the club will endeavour to provide coaching and playing opportunities suitable to their abilities. No player will be asked to leave the club due to their economic circumstances. Secondary objectives of the club are: to provide life-time community involvement for members of the club as coaches and administrators; to be involved with the local community as a centre for sporting and social activities.
