2026 Essendon Royals Community Football Program EOI Open
Essendon Royals Soccer Club is excited to announce that Expressions of Interest (EOIs) for our 2026 Community Football Program are now open! If you’re looking for a fun, inclusive, and development-focused environment, we’d love to have you on board.
Football For All
From seasoned players or complete newcomers, from our MiniRoos to our open-age social teams, our Community Football Program makes the game accessible to all.
Demand is at an all-time high, and a staged EOI process helps ensure we manage coaching resources, venue availability, and trial schedules efficiently. While we will attempt to field as many junior teams as possible, please note that the club is already oversubscribed in many categories.
Senior Players Welcome
Stay active and continue your football journey!
Our open-age men’s teams compete in the metro divisions, and our open-age women’s teams compete in State League 3 within the Football Victoria women’s football pyramid.
Led By The Best
Our programs are helmed by a vastly experienced football management team, including Head of Football Vaughan Coveny, Boys Technical Director Michael Curcija, and Girls Technical Director Jaiden van der Heijden ensuring top-quality coaching and a values-driven club culture.
