Inverkeithing Hillfield Swifts Football Club are a Scottish football club based in the town of Dalgety Bay, Fife. They compete in the East of Scotland League Premier Division, the sixth tier of Scottish football, having joined the league with their senior team in 2018 and gaining promotion from the First Division in 2020.[2]
The club was founded in 1996 as Inverkeithing Boys Club, before changing their name to Inverkeithing Blue Brazil a year later. Their current name was adopted in 2000.[3]
Initially the senior team played at their Ballast Bank ground in Inverkeithing for three years after joining the senior pyramid. However they now play matches at Dalgety Bay Sports & Leisure Centre in the neighbouring town of Dalgety Bay where they moved ahead of the 2021–22 season.[1]
