About Us

In order to capitalise on the growing number of players in the Gungahlin region, Juventus SC established the Gungahlin Juventus Soccer Club in 1997. On 27 September 2002 the club began a new chapter as an incorporated association under the name Gungahlin Junior Soccer Club (ACT). The new club took on much of the identity of the senior Juventus club, but the Gungahlin Junior Soccer Club remained a separate association only supporting the football needs of boys and girls in the area.

On 25 January 2005, the Club again took a new direction with the association’s name changing to Gungahlin United Football Club (GUFC) to align with a national naming scheme and to incorporate the introduction of a broader playing base which included State League – seniors and masters, both male and female.

In 2011, GUFC formed an alliance with Premier League Club, Canberra City SC, to venture into National Premier League competitions. A formal agreement between GUFC and Canberra City was executed in 2012 which had seen GUFC field teams in the Under 12, Under 14 and Under 16 Men’s National Premier League.

In 2015, GUFC was granted a stand-alone National Premier League License to fields teams from NPL Under 12 to 1st Grade, as well as Women Premier League U17, U19 and 1st Grade teams.

GUFC has a player base of over 2,000 players of all ages, in various competitions.
