Garden Village A.F.C. was founded in 1922 and started playing football at Swansea League level before joining the Carmarthenshire League midway through the 20th century.[2] After numerous league and cup successes over the years, Village gained promotion into the Welsh Football League at the end of the 1998–99 season after finishing second in the Premier Division of the Carmarthenshire League, and successfully beating Neath League team Cwmamman United in the Welsh League promotion play-off. In their first season of Welsh League football, the club secured promotion by finishing third in Welsh League Division Three. In the Welsh Cup Village defeated Pontyclun and Ely Rangers before being knocked out by Inter Cardiff.
In the 2000–01 season Village finished eighth in their first season. The following season Village became Division Two Champions and were promoted to Welsh League Division One. In the 2002–03 season Village were finished 16th and were relegated.
After a number of seasons in Division Two the club regained Division One status when they finished third in season 2008/09. In 2010–11 Village were relegated back into Division Two. Season 2013–14 saw Garden Village return to the first Division after finishing third in the league, Season 2015–16 saw the management team and a number of players leave the club and Village were relegated to Division Two.
Stadium
Garden Village play at the Stafford Common ground. In 2006 the club opened its new changing room facilities while a new bar and suite area was added to the current club house in the summer of 2008. In 2009 a 75 seater stand was installed as well as the rebuilding of the covered standing area that had been damaged previously by a storm. During the summer of 2010 the floodlights system was completed.
In the summer of 2012, the main pitch was ripped up completely to install the new drainage system. Over the years, the main pitch has had many problems with the drainage, so the decision was made to upgrade the drainage facility to help solve the problem. The work was finally completed at the end of September 2012. The summer of 2014 saw further development of the ground with a wooden perimeter fence being erected to fully enclose the main pitch area.
