Dwarka FC

Dwarka Football Club (erstwhile Panchkuian Club) is a Delhi 'A' division professional football club, based out at sector 19, Dwarka, South-West District, New Delhi, INDIA. The location of the ground is strategically the best one can have, next to Football House (AIFF Head Quarter, Delhi). The Club currently plays in the Delhi Soccer Association's 'A' division Football League Championship, and its honours include runners-up (point based) in the Delhi state's 'B' division league in the last season 2008-09, and many other tournaments.

This season 2009-10, Havells India1 (a leading international brand in electrical switchgear, wires & cables, appliances) has shown faith on us and happily announced to be the Main-sponsor of Dwarka Football Club.

Dwarka Football Club was founded in 1994 as Panchkuian Club, but got renamed as "Dwarka Football Club" in 2005 due consideration of local sentiments. In the early years after the club's formation in its original home of DESU Park (C-Block, Janak Puri), games were played at many different grounds around Janak Puri area until finally the club settled into its current location at DDA sports complex ground, sec-19, Dwarka on Road No. 205. Due to its proximity to other west Delhi clubs like Paschim Heroes FC, Rohini FC, Nirvana FC etc, Dwarka FC maintains long-standing rivalries with several other clubs in the area; the most notable of these are Collegians FC, Nirvana FC & Moti Lal Evening College (Delhi University).

Currently we have shifted temporarily to Sec-2 football ground (Behind Bhaskracharya College for Applied Science, Dwarka)

Our Mission

Dwarka Football Club Welfare Society is mainly focused on providing football facility to all the children throughout the Delhi and promoting sports related community service among our youth. We work to improve the lives and give hope to poor children through football including the collection and donation of sports equipment to them. We also help them to seek A Wonderful career in global sports like football. Our management have also decided to offer community service programs to Delhi’s youth to increase their awareness of and compassion for underprivileged children who cannot afford to play football. Through this effort, we seek to instill in our youth a lifelong commitment to and passion for community service through sports.

We have been a self-financing institution till last year, but this year onwards we are approaching corporates for more support. As a first hope, Havells came forward to support us this season.

Getting Involved

Whether you’re a student, director of a sports league or club, teacher or youth leader, sporting goods manufacturer or retailer or just about anyone else, we have a program that allows you to help such children play football. We invite you to check out our programs and join our effort to provide sports facility to all those needy children who seeking a bright career in Indian football arena.

Club crest and colours

During its earlier days at DESU ground, the club played in a number of different colours, the most recognisable being the yellow and green halved shirts; this strip was revived as an away kit in the early 2000s. Other kits worn included a red and white quartered shirt (2002) and a plain Dark shirt (2006–07). In 2004, in conjunction with the name change to Dwarka Football Club from Panchkuyian Club, the club changed its colours to blue-white jerseys, which has become the standard for most Dwarka FC home kits ever since.

In the last season, away strips are usually white jerseys with black shorts and white socks, but other colours have been used including a blue and white striped shirt, an all-black kit in 2006, and a navy blue shirt with white vertical stripes on the sides in 2003 (sponsored by On-dot Courier & Cargo services). One of the most famous, yet short-lived, DwFC away kits was the all orange kit in 2006-07, which was supposed to be wear by the reserves & juniors (Dwarka FC 'B' Team)

Currently this season, Dwarka Football Club's home jerseys are plain white with a black short. The club crest sits on a blue shield of the same shape on the left side of the chest, while the Adidas logo is in Black on the right side; the Havells logo is also there in Red colour on the front side of the jersey.
