Ipswich Football Club was established in 2023 through the merger of Ipswich City Bulls FC, founded in 1975, and Western Pride FC, founded in 2012. This merger represents a pivotal moment for football in the Ipswich region, combining the rich histories of both clubs to form a new entity that is competitive, sustainable, and community-focused. By uniting two strong football clubs with a shared purpose and vision, our goal is to provide every player with a clear pathway to reach their full potential and pursue their passion for the sport.

By merging the resources, expertise, and community of each club, and supporting both community and advanced teams, we aim to create a stronger foundation for players of all ages and skill levels to grow and develop their abilities. Our shared vision is to build a vibrant football community that inspires and develops players, coaches, referees, and volunteers at every level.

We are committed to becoming the premier football club in the region, offering pathways for all players to achieve their goals. Beyond on-field success, we strive to serve as a positive force in the community, believing in the power of football to bring people together and make a meaningful difference in their lives.
