Celebrating Football History at King's House Sports Ground

We were delighted to welcome guests to King’s House Sports Ground for a very special occasion celebrating an important moment in the history of grassroots football.

The Football Association Chair, Debbie Hewitt, presented our friends at Civil Service Football Club with a special blue plaque, recognising the club’s unique place in football history as the only surviving founder member of The Football Association.

The event was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the club’s remarkable heritage, its longstanding contribution to grassroots football and the important role it continues to play within the sporting community.

This year is particularly significant for King’s House Sports Ground, as we are also celebrating our 100th anniversary. It was a privilege to be part of such a memorable occasion and to mark this important milestone alongside Civil Service Football Club and others who share a passion for the history and future of the game.

We are proud to be part of a sporting community with such a rich history and look forward to continuing to provide a place for sport, participation and community for many years to come.
