Bold textJordanhill Campus Amateur Football Club

Jordanhill Campus A.F.C is an amateur football club playing in the first division of the Greater Glasgow Premier League, an affiliate league of the Scottish Amateur Football Association.

The club rose from the ashes of the famous Jordanhill College team disbanded after the merger of the College with the University of Strathclyde in 1989, it takes it's name from the designation now given to the site of the old college. Jordanhill ( as they are more commonly known ) sport an all green home kit, with a dark blue strip utilised in the case of colour clashes. Home games are played at the Campus grounds situated just off Southbrae Drive,in   the West End of Glasgow. The pitches are considered to be some of the best maintained in the entire city.

Unlike the old college team, who were able to cherry pick from a student body comprising many sports science students , the Campus team has had to cast it's net far wider .The enclave of Cardonald on the south side of the city now provides the bulk of the squad. Perhaps uniquely and certainly unusually in season 2004 / 05 four brothers ; John, Marc, Michael and Brendan Dorrian all regularly represented the team.

The club has a zero tolerance approach to racism ,sectarianism, and homophobia.

Whilst their predecessors had an illustrious history, winning the Scottish Amateur Cup in season 1965/66 , success has been more modest for the Campus men in recent years , with early round exits in the Scottish Amateur Cup and the West of Scotland Cup , now the norm .However season 2007/8 proved an annus mirabilis with the side clinching the second division title. More importantly perhaps the club enjoy a reputation for, sportsmanship, and attacking football that makes them always well respected opponents.

The club is sponsored by Mallon Associates, captained by Gordon Barr, and managed jointly by Paul Meehan, and  Cameron Watt.

No players from the Campus teams have gone onto professional careers, but the side was briefly managed by former Dundee United and Partick Thistle winger Paul Kinnaird during season 2004 / 2005.
