In just six short months, Newcastle United Armed Forces Supporters Club (NUAFSC) has become nothing short of a phenomenon.
With over 500 paying members already signed up, we are proud to be recognised as the largest Armed Forces football supporters group in the UK.
A testament to the power of unity, passion, and Geordie pride.
Formed by servicemen and women with a deep love for Newcastle United, NUAFSC is more than just a supporters group.
Newcastle United Armed Forces Supporters Club is a community, a support network, and a proud voice for veterans, reservists, and serving personnel who bleed black and white.
A Remembrance Game Like No Other
Our signature event—the Tyne, Wear Remembrance Game—is now the biggest Armed Forces football match in the country.
Pitched against our rivals from Sunderland’s Armed Forces community, this annual clash does more than just fuel the Tyne-Wear rivalry. It raises funds, honours the fallen, and brings people together in a way that only football can.
Joining Newcastle United Armed Forces Supporters Club costs just £15 a year, and with it comes access to some of the most heavily subsidised events on offer anywhere for veterans and Armed Forces personnel.
That includes:
Our End of Season Celebration at St. James’ Park
Organised away day travel to follow the lads on the road
Battlefield Tours honouring our military heritage
Access to our NUAFSC Football team playing at St James’ Park and other exclusive fixtures
We’re not stopping there either. NUAFSC is constantly growing, with more events, trips, and member perks in the pipeline.
