Alfold Football Club is a football club based in Alfold, Surrey, England. They are currently members of the Southern Combination Division One and play at the Recreation Ground.
History
The club was established in 1920 as Loxwood and Alfold and joined the Rudgwick & District League.[1] The club split in 1928 and Alfold joined the Cranleigh & District league, before becoming members of the Horsham & District League.[1] They won the league title, the League Cup and the District Cup in 1953–54.[2] When the league folded in the late 1960s, the club transferred to the West Sussex League.[2] They won the Tony Kopp Cup in 1970–71 and were Division Two North champions 1980–81 and 1993–94,[3] also winning the Surrey County Lower Junior Cup in 1988.[2] The club won the Premier Division title in 2002–03 and the Chichester Charity Cup in 2010–11.[3]
Alfold were Division Two runners-up in 2012–13, earning promotion to Division One. In 2015 they moved up to Division Two of the Southern Combination. A fourth-place finish in 2017–18 was enough to earn promotion to Division One.[4] The following season saw the club win the Division One title, resulting in promotion to the Premier Division.[5]
Ground
The club play at the Recreation Ground in Dunsfold Road, Alfold.[6] A new 50-seat stand and floodlights were installed in 2018.
