The Civil Service Football Club (CSFC) are recruiting players for the 2024/25 season from across Government. CSFC run eleven teams competing in games across London, with our home ground being in Chiswick. This includes eight eleven-a-side men’s teams, two women’s teams and one veteran’s team (40+).
For men training runs every Wednesday at 7pm, for women training is every Thursday evening. Training is held on fantastic facilities at our home ground the Kings House School Sports Ground, London W4 2SH, a 20-minute train ride from Waterloo or Vauxhall to Barnes Bridge.
The club caters for a full spectrum of footballing abilities, ranging from near semi-professional standard in the first team to more socially orientated football in the lower teams. With eleven teams it’s a great way to make friends both within the team you play in and across the club.
The 2023/24 season was a successful season for the club, winning two league titles with other sides being runners up in leagues and Cups. There was a great end of season dinner with 120 players and a very successful tour to Bilbao in Spain including playing a game at Athletic Bilbao’s training ground and attending a La Liga game.
Increased physical activity has been identified as a priority area for Civil Service health and well-being initiatives. Playing competitive 11-a-side football is a great way to exercise, it’s also a great way to socialise and meet people from across the civil service and beyond.
The Civil Service Football Club is one of the most important clubs in football’s history. Recognised as the oldest association football club in the world CSFC were one of the dozen founding sides (most of the others are now defunct or play rugby union) of the Football Association on 28 October 1863, and were also one of the 15 entrants to the first ever FA Cup competition in 1871-72, last season they hosted the FA Cup second round draw. In 2013 they played in the only ever game played inside the grounds of Buckingham Palace
