We are RUMSFC, the UCL Football Club for medical students and more. Although traditionally a Medic Club, we welcome players from all courses with a united love for the beautiful game. Whether you've never kicked a ball before, or you could’ve gone pro but had a knee injury, or you're the next Erling Haaland… RUMSFC is the club for you.
After our outstanding club-wide accomplishments in 22/23, we were awarded UCL RUMS Club of the Year.
We have teams catering to all abilities – our 1s offer a high standard of football having remained almost undefeated in 19/20, beating UCL 1s convincingly two years on the bounce. We are the only football club in UCL to be rewarded with an official VARSITY in 2024 against our age-old rivals GKT (King’s Medics). The 1st team also boast the luxury to play in the second oldest footballing competition in the world: the United Hospitals Cup (secondly only to the FA Cup)! Our 2s and 3s play in competitive Wednesday and Saturday LUSL leagues – the 3s making history with an INVINCIBLE 22/23 season leading to their promotion; and our 4s play both competitively on Wednesdays and Sundays.
Alongside this, we host weekly socials, including the highly anticipated 'SportsNight' at Mully's Basement Bar on Gower Street every Wednesday evening (KO: 7.30pm - Don't be late!), as well as plenty of other big events throughout the year. There are TWO football tours in the year, where members get a chance to visit the exotic and cultural wonders of the UK and abroad, as well as the opportunity to play in the exclusive NAMS Medical Schools’ Football Tournament, which we've never lost to date.
At RUMSFC we tailor our services specifically to the medical school curriculum by offering regular tutorials (run by our senior years and alumni), learning resources, exam practice and education opportunities for its members to guide them throughout their academic journey.
As a club we also aim to do more. We are the largest fundraising club in RUMS for ‘Movember’ supporting Men’s Mental Health Charities. In 2022, we raised a club record £2,683! We support the local community by volunteering weekly with our partnered charity Step Football, a wonderful organisation which aims to make the beautiful game accessible to all.
