About the Collingwood Football Club

Collingwood Football Club (CFC) was founded in 1892.
Local residents, community and business leaders and politicians all hoped that having their own football club could help bring a measure of pride to a downtrodden suburb.
In 2024, CFC is one of the great icons of Australian sport. Our history spans 130 years, 16 premierships and more finals appearances than any other club. Most importantly, Collingwood has grown from being a football club to a sports club with a commitment to our community. Collingwood is not made by a President, a Captain, a Coach or a CEO. It’s not just any one player, employee, supporter or fan, Collingwood is made by many.
