Ballyclare Comrades is a club in the IFA Championship. This is the second level of Northern Ireland club football, one rung below the IFA Premiership.

The club is based in Ballyclare, a small but growing market town in the south-east of County Antrim, about 15 miles from Belfast.



The team plays in a kit of red shirts with white trim, white shorts and red socks. The kit is manufactured by Diadora. Our shirt sponsor is Reid Black & Co. Solicitors.

Ballyclare Comrades play at Dixon Park, in the centre of the town, beside the Comrades Social Club.

Dixon Park has a capacity of 4,000, with a small seated stand at one side, where the changing rooms and club offices are sited. There are covered standing areas behind each goal, as well as seating behind one goal. There is a further standing area opposite the main stand.

The club is run by a committee, which is elected on a yearly basis by the season ticket holders. Therefore, it is one of the few truly democratic football clubs in existence today.
There has recently been formed a Supporters Club, which has a growing enthusiastic membership who are passionate about the Comrades, and who are setting about fund raising activities to help the club financially.
