History
Faversham Town F.C. are a semi-professional football club competing in the Southern Counties East Football League (SCEFL), with U23s development, FTFC post 16 Football Academy and with youth teams at all ages. We also run girls’ teams, disability teams and a powerchair team. Faversham Town are the only club in the country other than England to boast a Three Lions badge, proudly representing the town crest.

Faversham Town’s origins go back to 1884, initially playing friendlies before entering the Kent League around the turn of the century. The club disbanded for the Second World War but reformed in 1947 as the Faversham Town we know today with their ‘lilywhite’ shirts. The following year, the club moved to their current Salters Lane home.

Growing success in the 1970s, ‘80s and ‘90s culminated in a 2000 Kent League Challenge Cup victory, but in 2003 the club collapsed amid financial difficulties. The stadium became derelict and vandalised, but a strong desire by supporters and businessmen in the town to save their local team led to its revival in 2005. Volunteers hacked back shoulder-high grass and renovated the stands, and the club rose from the ashes.

Town won promotion to the Kent League in the first season back in 2005/06. In 2010 they were crowned champions and took the massive step up to the semi-professional Isthmian League, the highest level in the club’s long history, where they competed until relegation to the SCEFL after the 2022/23 season.
