[edit] Recent History
Tivoli Gardens Football Club is a well managed outfit, headed by the former leader of opposition Rt Hon Edward Seaga, who served as Member of Parliament for forty years. The Club won the National Premier League championship in 2003/2004 and was runner up in 2004/2005. The senior coaches for the last 3 years have been Glendon "Admiral" Bailey, who is well known in entertainment circles, and Calvert Fitzgerald, formerly of NPL rivals Waterhouse F.C. and Rivoli United F.C. who has been replaced by Desmond Francis in the 2007/2008 season.
The club is a pillar of the community and operates on lands previously home to the Jamaica Railway Corporation. The grounds are beautifuly laid and the sight of old railcars add to the attraction. A number of major companies post their billboards on the complex which provides valuable cash to meet operational and development needs.
The club won the Red Stripe Cup 2006, by overturning the fortunes of Portmore United, who led up to the 70th minute of play.
