Serving Somerset West, Strand, Gordon's Bay and the wider Helderberg basin — community football built on tradition, youth development, and an unyielding love for the game.
De Beers AFC stands as one of South Africa's most storied amateur football clubs, with a legacy spanning well over a century. Founded in 1902 and originally known as "The Dynamiters", our club has been a cornerstone of the Somerset West community — and the wider Helderberg — for generations.
For many decades, our home was on De Beers Avenue. In 2009, we embarked on a new chapter, moving to our prestigious current facilities in Paardevlei. Conveniently situated near the N2, the ground is just minutes from Strand, Gordon's Bay, Helderview and Firgrove, giving players from across the Helderberg basin a world-class environment to train and compete.
Our philosophy is simple but powerful: we believe in nurturing the love of the game from within. Rather than simply signing finished talent, we dedicate ourselves to growing our own stars, focusing on technical development and teamwork from the earliest age groups up to our senior teams.
