About Moorside Rangers
CLUB HISTORY
Founded in 1976, Moorside Rangers have steadily grown to become one of the largest grassroots football clubs within Manchester. We are one of only a small number of clubs to achieve a 3 star accreditation, the highest accolade from the Football Association.
We now operate around 30 teams and cater for players of all ages, from all backgrounds and all ability levels. From the foundation for players 4-6 years old, and then teams from U7 right through to open age including Girls specific teams and disability specific teams.
