One club, three semi-finals!
We've got three cup semi-finals coming up for our three sides in the next three weeks as our season hots up.
The final few weeks of the season just got a whole lot bigger for the Hamlet as all 3 of our sides fight for spots in cup finals.

Hamlet secure a 2nd Football v Homophobia Award!
On Friday seventh of March, we were delighted to head to Glasgow for the 2025 Football v Homophobia awards. The club for the sixth season running was nominated in the semi-professional/non-league category.
Over the past twelve months the Hamlet have once again gone above and beyond to support the LGBTQ+ Community. At the end of June.
Dulwich became the first non-league club to win the award for the second time having won originally back in 2022.
The Hamlet was awarded the award this year for our work in becoming (we think) the first non-league football club to participate in Pride in London. Over 75 supporters and sponsors descended on the streets of central London on an open top bus covered in rainbow as we celebrated all things LGBTQ+. However, the football club from the off was committed to sticking with Prides protest routes.
A number of participants held placards aloft campaigning for Transgender inclusion and calling out Transphobia in football and the wider world. As we approach Transgender Day of Visibility on Monday 31st March it's important to remember that even now the Trans community are being marginalised and attacked all over the world for just being themselves.
The club has also had to deal with homophobic incidents inside Champion Hill this season. Thanks to the work of club staff and match stewards the individual responsible was ejected from the stadium and the incident was dealt with in an efficient and effective manner.
Club staff are often found engaging with players on their experiences as LGBTQ+ people working in football helping to bridge the gap that is often found in football.
Of course, the Hamlet have led the way for years when it comes to LGBTQ+ inclusion in football. We welcome TRUK United to Champion Hill on 2 separate occasions. The 2nd visit was a record-breaking night under the lights at the Hill as the world's first Trans Masculine team took to a football pitch to play a match against our supporters' side.
Our main stand in partnership with our sponsors Defected Records is the phrase 'In Our House We Are All Equal' in full rainbow writing. You can also find pride flags as our corner flags both here at Champion Hill and at our training ground. Our pathway around the pitch perimeter also has 2 pride flags painted into the path. One by turnstiles 1-4 and the other by turnstiles 5 & 6.
Champion Hill and Dulwich Hamlet Football Club have become a beacon of light for LGBTQ+ loving football fans especially those right here in south London.
The clubs tireless work over the decades has allowed for people from all walks of life whether they are a member of the LGBTQ+ community or not to express themselves inside Champion Hill without the fear of judgement knowing that they'll always have a pink & blue home here at the Hill.
EDT sponsor the Hamlet!
We're delighted to announce that The East Dulwich Tavern (EDT) has purchased two pitchside advertisement boards ahead of the 25/26 season.
The EDT is found on promotion roundabout and was a fundamental part of our men's and women's recent promotion parties.
They've recently embarked on a full renovation of the venue and reopened earlier this week. The Hamlet are delighted to have been invited to their official launch night on Thursday night and we can't wait to celebrate with them and the rest of the Dulwich community.
INTERESTED IN SPONSORING THE HAMLET?
We have a number of sponsorship opportunities available here at Champion Hill for the remainder of this season and the 25/26 season. Want to find out how you and your business can get involved? Email Clare:

Complete our EDI survey
Alongside the Dulwich Hamlet Supporters' Trust, Dulwich Hamlet FC is delighted to launch our 2025 EDI Survey.
Supporters can take the survey by clicking here.
EDI officer Danny Mills had this to say on the launch of our newest survey:
"Dulwich Hamlet FC is committed to preventing discrimination within all areas of its operations and within its stadium, providing an environment free from abuse, harassment, bullying and victimisation. Our fans are the heartbeat of everything we do, and we want to make sure we are doing everything we can to ensure that Dulwich Hamlet Football Club is an environment where you can bring your true self. As a commitment to Equality, Diversity & Inclusion we are putting together a plan in order to create a fully inclusive football club from staff to fans.
The main benefit of conducting this survey is to provide fans with the opportunity to give their voice and say on how they feel Diversity, Inclusivity and Equality is promoted within the club. This Survey will provide valuable insight into how you are feeling and highlights key actions and recommendations that can be taken to further embed a collective culture of wellbeing and inclusivity. By completing our survey, we will be able to fully understand where and how we can address under-representation and ensure that we encourage all of our local communities to get involved in football, whether as a fan, a player, a coach, a steward or to join the club’s workforce.
Dulwich Hamlet FC would like to thank you for completing this survey and contributing to us becoming a more inclusive club for all.
