Farnham & District Sunday Football League

The competition’s focus is over-35s men’s football. Its current league and cup programme gives established teams and new sides a Sunday route into organised veterans football, while FA Full-Time carries the live fixtures, results and tables during the season.

Competition and area

Farnham sits close to the Surrey–Hampshire border, and the league’s stated 20-mile entry area reflects that local cross-county setting. Teams are drawn from the wider Farnham district rather than from the town alone. Clubs wishing to enter must be based within that area, which helps keep the competition locally rooted while allowing sides from surrounding communities to take part.

The league organises divisional football alongside cup competitions. The precise divisional make-up can change between seasons, so players and clubs should use the league’s FA Full-Time link for current fixtures, tables and team information.

History

The league began in the 1962–63 season. After severe winter weather disrupted its first year, 16 teams started the first full Sunday League season in the area. It expanded through its early decades, including four divisions by 1968–69 and a fifth in 1971–72.

Veterans football later became central to the competition. The league introduced an over-40s Super Vets division for 2009–10 before merging it into the wider veterans section in 2011–12. Its official history records further expansion in the early 2020s, when the top division became the Premiership.

Joining and official information

Prospective over-35s men’s teams can use the league’s new-club application process. The Farnham & District Sunday Football League website provides league information and forms; FA Full-Time is the place for live competition detail.
