Matthew comments: East Sheen FC is one of the oldest football clubs in the world, originally founded in 1873 and revived in 2026. In our first Victorian era we produced two England captains, won the Surrey Senior Cup twice, and competed in some of the earliest international club tournaments in European history. That history is the foundation, but this is a club built for now.

We are building a club across 10 squads spanning men’s, women’s, youth, futsal, and esports, based in East Sheen, South West London, affiliated with Surrey County FA. Our men’s first team will compete at Step 8 of the Non-League pyramid. From the outset we have prioritised building a digital audience alongside the football, generating over 60,000 organic views within two weeks of launch with zero paid spend.

Our objectives are to become the most recognisable grassroots football club in South West London, to provide clear pathways from U7 through to senior football, and to be genuinely self-sustaining as a community organisation.

Central to that is securing a permanent home pitch in East Sheen. We have contacted Richmond Council to open discussions on that and are awaiting a response.
