Rivalries
Afan Lido's main and bitter rivals are Port Talbot Town, who are based less than half a mile away from Afan Lido's ground. The two clubs' main rivalries are based on the fact that Aberavon is generally overshadowed by its neighbour, Port Talbot, the rivalry has resurfaced since Afan Lido gained promotion back to the top flight of Welsh football.
Disability team
In 1998 a multi disabled football team was formed to play at under 12 and under 16 levels. in 2004 Afan Lido played in their first competitive tournament in Northampton and won at both age levels. this led on to bigger things for the new club. In 2007 Afan Lido were accepted into the pan Welsh disability league and play in the second tier. Both age groups moved up a level so the under 12's became the new under 16's and the old under 16's became seniors. Surprisingly the seniors won the league in their first season but had to share the honours with Merthyr Tydfill. The under 16 team struggled in their first season but there are signs of improvement for the next season. Afan Lido Multi Disabed Football has a firm rivalry with Heronsbridge School in Bridgend and also with Swansea Bravehearts.
The Afon Lido was destroyed by a fire on 16-12-2009
