We Are Sifil AFC

Originally founded in 1963 under the name of Newport Civil Service Football Club, the football club has been part of the fabric of the Bettws estate ever since the Civil Sports & Recreation ground was established.

The Senior first team has enjoyed varied successes over the years, playing in the Newport & District league in its formative years, then climbing up through the FAW pyramid structure to reach the Welsh leagues between 2008 & 2015. In more recent years, the Senior 1st team have been a long-standing occupant of the Gwent County Premier league, whilst the 2nd side play in the Newport & District League.

Youth & Junior Football

We are committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for all children between the ages of 4 and 18 to develop their football skills, whilst also promoting teamwork, responsibility, respect for others and general good behaviour.  

Each team has at least one Welsh FA accredited coach, and most have several coaches who have attained their Welsh FA Football Leaders Awards (and some have higher coaching awards).
