Bellevue Football Club is a Welsh football club based in Wrexham. They currently play in the North East Wales Division Three. The club has won a number of awards for their work in equality, diversity, and inclusion since forming in 2016. ^{[2] [3] [4]}

History

The club was founded in 2016 after a discussion about starting a football team, between a group of friends under a tree at Bellevue Park in Wrexham. This is the tree represented prominently on the club badge. ^[5] In 2017 they joined the North East Wales League. ^[6]

The club emphasises inclusion of people from all backgrounds - in May 2025 it was reported that its teams included 17 different nationalities. ^[7] They have also been described as the "most diverse football club in the world". ^[8]

In January 2022 a match was played against a team from Wrexham Town Police Station, aiming to "break down barriers" through the use of football. ^[9]
