Founded in 2019 just before the Covid pandemic, Longford Park Football Club was created as a community club, to bring people together for the love of the beautiful game and for mental and physical health. We’re strong advocates of mental health supporting all members of the club from different backgrounds.

The aim of the club was always clear and meticulously planned out, knowing it would branch out to involve and appeal in as many areas as possible to support the community of Longford Park, Banbury and the surrounding areas.

Our first season (was cut short because of the pandemic), so work began on creating a second team for the 2021/22 season. Great achievements were met in our first full season, with the First team reaching the semi-final of the John Fathers Junior Shield, the Reserves finishing as runners up in Division 3 of the Lord Jersey League and bringing home our first piece of silverware, the Eric Morris Cup.

Currently, we have our First and Reserves men’s team currently competing, with a Third men’s team, an over 35’s Veterans men’s team and a Ladies team (known as the Vixens), all in the works to be competing from the 2023/24 season. for more people to get involved and join

We also have our Little Foxes for under 5’s and our Youth Development of under 8’s currently in progress.
