Winchester City FC

Hampshire side Winchester City Football Club currently play in the Southern Football league Division One South and West and are led by manager Craig Davis.

​

The side play at The City Ground which holds an attendance of 4,500. Formed in 1891 as Winchester Swallows FC they changed their name to Winchester FC in 1894 and then changed again to Winchester City F.C. in 1907.

​

The club underwent a reorganization in 1999–2000 after a financially turbulent previous season. But they emerged from the tough period and were Division One champions again in 2000–01, earning promotion to the Premier Division, while also winning the Inter League Shield that season.

​

In 2001–02, the club merged with Winchester Castle, but only managed to finish third in the league. However, they won the Hampshire League title, and promotion the next season, and completed a treble of trophies by also winning the Trophyman Cup and the Southampton Senior Cup.

​

In 2014, Winchester reached the third qualifying round of the FA Cup for the first time in 59 years, but were beaten 3-2 by Concord Rangers. The following season City finished 2nd in the Wessex League Premier Division and, after Flackwell Heath turned down the opportunity of promotion from Step 5 to Step 4 of the National League System, were offered the vacant space in the Southern League Division One South & West, which the club accepted.
