THE HILLTOP STORY
ABOUT US
More than a team - Hilltop is a movement
Hilltop Football Club is a community-driven football club based in northwest London, known not only for our passion for the beautiful game but for our mission to provide opportunity, unity, and positive representation for underrepresented communities. Founded in 2005, Hilltop FC was established by members of the Somali diaspora in the UK, who sought to create a space where local talent could thrive both on and off the pitch.
Since our humble beginnings, Hilltop has grown from a grassroots initiative into a competitive and respected club competing in the English football league system. We currently play in the Combined Counties Football League and are proud to represent our community on the regional stage. But our purpose goes far beyond the scoreboard.
