MENS 1ST XI & DEVELOPMENT TEAMS
The FC Nelson 1st XI team has played in the Local Nelson First Division since the club's inception in 2011. Since then the team has maintained a high level of excellence, winning the league six times and finishing in the top three every year, bar one.
We strive towards the standards of excellence required and to create better opportunities for its players to represent the club at the highest level possible.
The first team is built on the strong support of the Nelson community, including local businesses such as Sheehan Financial ans ALH Ltd and has a primary concentration on nurturing and developing Nelson's local footballing talent, including refugees hailing from the Myanmar, Nepal, Chin, and Colombian communities.
The team is currently lead by Head Coach Davor Tavich, alongside his team.
