The North Winnipeg Nomads Football Club is a Canadian football club established in 1969 and originally started as a single bantam age (15-year-olds) football team. Eventually, the club grew to include teams from ages 7 to 21. The Nomads has the second largest enrolment in Canadian amateur football.[1]
The Nomads were the first Winnipeg team to win the Western Canadian Bantam FootballChampionship since its inception in 1967.
The club has won 23 Manitoba provincial championship titles plus two interprovincial titles.
A minor bantam (14-year-olds) team was added in 1978.
The club moved to the former Winnipeg Hawkeyes field and clubhouse in 1997.
In 2002, after the Manitoba Lotteries Corp. backed away from plans to purchase the field and relocate the club, the Nomads Board began planning and fundraising for much needed field improvements. Their successful efforts resulted in installation of the field lighting, automated sprinkler system, improved seating, and the perimeter fence in 2004.
This period also saw the Nomads grow from just under 200 players in 2000, to 330 by 2003, making it one of the largest clubs in Western Canada.
In 2011, the Nomads club welcomed the North Winnipeg Nomads Wolf Pack, a senior women's tackle football team (ages 16+) that competes in the Western Women's Canadian Football League, which spans the three prairie provinces.
The Nomads have competed against teams from and around Winnipeg, including the East Side Eagles, the Transcona Nationals, the St. Boniface Warriors, the Ft. Garry Lions, the St. Vital Mustangs, the St. James Rods, the Lockport Cowboys, the Greendell Falcons, Eastman Raiders and Valour Patriots.
