Welcome to the Rydalmere Lions FC Association Hub!
The Granville and Districts Soccer Football Association (GDSFA) is Australia’s oldest Soccer Football Association. It was founded in 1900 when Frederick Barlow decided to introduce the round ball game into the schools in the district.
In 1901 the Association had 3 grades of competition – one for schools and two for other newly formed clubs and teams. The popularity of the game grew very quickly and not before too long the Association covered all of Western Sydney (one third of the Sydney Basin), even stretching out to Lithgow.
Granville was the cradle and the nursery of the game and as such has produced many Socceroos and Olyroos and more recently, Matildas.
