Our club

Football for every child in Newport — since 1975

Billy Bowering started Nova on the fields opposite the old Audco works fifty years ago. Today we’re an England Football Accredited club run entirely by volunteers, with FA-qualified coaches, DBS-checked helpers and a clubhouse coffee shop that opens every Saturday morning of the season.

Some of our players have gone on to professional football. Most just fall in love with the game — which is the most important thing.
