Melbourne Rovers was formed in June 2008, as a LGBTIQ soccer club to foster the playing of soccer so as to achieve the general aims of physical and social fitness, health and recreation. Melbourne Rovers are a mix of players from different backgrounds, who range in age from 18 to 55. While many players in the club identify as same sex attracted, there are also a number of players and officials who identify as bi-sexual or straight. Sexuality is not an obstacle for playing for Melbourne Rovers and their affiliated clubs.

The Melbourne Rovers are a Social Soccer Team. During the Spring and Summer there is the Summer 7s Comp. During the Winter Season the Melbourne Rovers play under FFV Affiliated Clubs the Men play for the Yarra Jets. While the Women are spread across a few clubs; Yarra Jets, Darebin United and Maribyrnong Swifts all clubs support a fun and inclusive environment, bringing together many backgrounds.

If you are interested in joining the Melbourne Rovers as a non-player, we are always looking for volunteers to help out please contact us.
