After extensive consultation, the Board of Riverside Olympic Football Club has decided to explore opportunities to join the NPL for season 2019. President Stuart McCarron said the time was right to further ongoing discussions.
“Riverside Olympic has a successful and enviable history both on and off the field. With an outstanding football facility at Windsor Park, and exemplary governance arrangements, we look forward to continuing a conversation with Football Federation Tasmania,” he said.
ROFC is amidst 50th Anniversary Celebrations, a proud period for a club whose origins began after the folding of Patons and Baldwins to form Ravenswood Olympic Soccer Club.
“One of our main objectives is to retain our ‘family values’, ensuring our culture is not jeopardised.
“Consultation, communication, openness and honesty have underpinned the club since formation, and it remains essential that this philosophy continues.
“It is important to address questions that were posed at club meetings, and they will be taken forward in the new process.” Mr McCarron said.

Riverside Olympic Football Club is under no illusions regarding the challenges associated with stepping-up to the next level. However, it is viewed as a series of exciting opportunities rather than a handbrake preventing application to NPL.
“With 400 juniors and playing ranks totaling 500, ROFC must provide pathways to enjoyment and participation, along with opportunities to experience football at the highest level.
“The Board will shortly begin an expression of interest process for coaching staff. We will also continue player recruitment, along with expanding marketing and sponsorship opportunities.
“We plan to meet with FFT as soon as possible, he said.
Riverside Olympic Football Club is based at Windsor Park, and was formed after the formal merger of Riverside Olympic Soccer and Sports Club and Riverside Olympic Junior Soccer Club in 2016. A new footballing facility opened in 2018, after a partnership with the West Tamar Council and state government.
