The Students first grade team has spent the majority of its existence in the ACT second division, becoming one of the most successful clubs at that level with six league premierships and championships to its name.

[1] ANU won its first recorded title in 1974 when it claimed the ACT Division Two premiership by two points ahead of second placed Belconnen United.

The Students finished its first season in the top division of ACT football in seventh place in the league table, behind O’Connor Knights in sixth and ahead of White Eagles in eight.

Attended by Andrew Barr, Shane Rattenbury, Steve Doszpot, Heather Reid (CF CEO), Rachel Harrigan (CF President) and Mick Brady (SRA), the community day involved a BBQ, fresh coffee, activities and face painting for the kids and the main event, an exhibition match between ANU FC All-Star XI and ANU Ex-Presidents.

The emblem is a crest with royal blue and white vertical stripes and the motto vilis est sermo (Latin for talk is cheap).

The crest features a traditional football positioned above an open book representing the club's academic roots and affiliation with the ANU.

The redevelopment project consisted of installing two state-of-the-art synthetic sports pitches with Desso Ambition artificial grass and was awarded a FIFA RECOMMENDED 2 Star certificate.

The facility also incorporated a 500 kilolitre underground water storage system (Stormtech) that harvests seven and a half million litres of rainwater a year from the two playing fields for re-use in the surrounding landscapes of the campus.
