Formed just two years ago, Sherfield English Football Club (SEFC) has already made an impressive start to life in local football. In this short time, the club has achieved league promotion and lifted a cup final trophy, building a strong and promising reputation within the local footballing leagues.

SEFC is more than just a football club. It is a welcoming place for everyone – a club to call home. At its heart, the club prides itself on being one big family, offering players, supporters, and volunteers a place to enjoy football, forget daily worries, and feel part of something special within the community.

Chairmen Sam and Rhys are committed to continuing the club’s positive growth. What began as a single men’s Saturday team has quickly expanded to include a men’s Reserves side and a Ladies Sunday League team managed by Mickey Lovell. The men’s teams currently compete in the Southampton District League, while the ladies represent the club in the Hampshire leagues. Progression remains firmly on the agenda. Plans are already underway to further expand next season, with the introduction of a Ladies Reserves side and an

additional men’s team, either a Thirds or an Under-23 Development squad.

As a local grassroots club, SEFC understands the financial challenges involved in running community football. Costs this season alone have been significant, and the club would welcome the support of local businesses wishing to become part of the SEFC family. Sponsorship opportunities are available, including pitch-side advertising boards, with all supporters and sponsors promoted across the club’s social media platforms.

The club would also love to see more local residents supporting the men’s team on Saturday afternoons and the Ladies team on a Sunday afternoon. A great deal of time and effort has gone into building Sherfield English Football Club, and there are no plans to slow down its growth any time soon.
