PSNI Football Club is an intermediate Northern Irish football club that plays in the NIFL Premier Intermediate League. The club is associated with the Police Service of Northern Ireland, and its home ground is Newforge Lane in Belfast.
History
PSNI FC was founded in 1928 as RUC, derived from Royal Ulster Constabulary and changed its name in 2002, following the police service's name change to the PSNI.
The club joined the Northern Amateur Football League in 1956 and became one of its leading clubs before being elevated to the Irish League B Division in 1975. The club stayed at this level until failing to gain a place in the reorganised and re-branded IFA Championship in 2008.
Although originally only serving members of the Police Service of Northern Ireland could play for the team, this rule is no longer in effect.
In February 2019, Will Horwood was appointed as PSNI FC manager. Six months later, in November 2019, Horwood appointed 20-year-old Rhys Hadden as the assistant manager.
In January 2020, Glenn Taggart was appointed manager of PSNI FC, with Hadden remaining as assistant manager.
In April 2023, the club finished bottom of the NIFL Premier Intermediate League and was due to drop into amateur league football for the first time since 1973. However the club retained their league status in a new, 14-team PIL, due to issues with finding an appropriate league, and the issues with Warrenpoint Town. The move encored a great deal of criticism due to the move lacking sporting integrity, effectively meaning the club could not be relegated.
O PSNI FC joga na NI Football League Championship 1, o terceiro nível do futebol da Irlanda do Norte. O clube joga seus jogos em casa no PSNI Stadium, que possui capacidade para 1.500 pessoas.
O PSNI FC teve alguns sucessos em sua curta história. O clube venceu a NI Football League Championship 2 na temporada 2015-16 e foi promovido ao NI Football League Championship 1. O PSNI FC também venceu a NI Intermediate Cup em 2012 e 2018.
O PSNI FC é um clube único no futebol da Irlanda do Norte. É o único clube profissional do mundo que é propriedade e é administrado por uma força policial. O clube tem se esforçado para promover relacionamentos positivos entre a polícia e a comunidade, e tem sido bem-sucedido em seus esforços. O PSNI FC é um clube respeitado no futebol da Irlanda do Norte e é uma fonte de orgulho para o PSNI e para a comunidade.
