Weston Football Club was founded in 2023 with the goal of bringing football to the local community and providing young players with a positive, supportive environment to develop both on and off the field. In January 2024, the club officially became a Community Interest Company (CIC), reflecting our strong commitment to giving back to the community and creating lasting social impact through sport.
From the beginning, Weston Football Club has been driven by a passion for football and a desire to make it accessible to as many young people as possible. In our first season (2023/24), we began with 3 FA-affiliated youth teams competing in local leagues. The support and enthusiasm we received from players, parents, and the local community made it clear that there was a strong desire for a community-based football club. This motivated us to expand our reach and offer more opportunities for children to get involved.
In June 2024, as the club’s growth continued, Weston Football Club relocated from Weston Cricket Club to a new home at Malbank High School in Nantwich. This larger facility provided the perfect space for the club to expand its operations and allowed us to accommodate more players and teams. Within just the first four months at our new location, the club doubled in size, growing from 3 to 6 FA-affiliated teams, with players ranging in age from 5 to 14 years old.
At Weston Football Club, we pride ourselves on being more than just a football club. We are a place where young players can build confidence, develop their skills, and learn the values of teamwork, respect, and discipline. Our coaching staff are dedicated to providing a safe, inclusive, and enjoyable environment for all participants, helping them to grow as athletes and individuals.
We also believe in the power of football to bring people together. By focusing on the local community, we aim to make a positive impact not only through sport but also through various outreach initiatives, events, and partnerships. Our goal is to create a sustainable, thriving club that continues to serve the community for years to come, offering opportunities for players of all abilities and backgrounds.
As we look to the future, Weston Football Club is excited to continue our growth and further our mission of making football a force for good in the community. Whether you’re a young player looking to join our teams, a volunteer eager to get involved, or a supporter of our work, we welcome everyone to be part of our journey. Together, we can make a difference and create a lasting legacy in the heart of our community.
