Welcome to Willington Football Club, a volunteer run Club based in South Derbyshire, providing grassroots football for Willington and the surrounding areas. We are affiliated to Derbyshire County Football Association and come under their jurisdiction for all football matters.

We are the largest organisation within our village with over 350 registered players and 60 volunteers that include committee members, managers, coaches and helpers, all who have an important role in ensuring our Club is run successfully and professionally. Match day and training facilities are at Twyford Road Playing Fields and the Power Station pitches.

A brief history since our formation............Willington FC had always provided our local community with adult football teams both on a Saturday and on a Sunday, and we could trace the Clubs history back to just after the second World War, However, a recently received team photograph from a village resident shows a Willington United FC team from 1899, which has now made us re-think our Club history. In 2002 a junior section of the Club was formed, initially starting the 2002/03 season with U10's and U12's teams that both played in the Burton Junior Football League. Our Club now boasts a number of teams ranging from U7's through to Adults, and 2022 saw us celebrating 20 years of junior football for Willington FC.

The forthcoming 2023/24 season will see our teams participating in 7 different Leagues :

Burton Junior Football League
Derby City Football League
Derby Junior Football League
Derby Taverners Sunday Football League
Midland Junior Premier League
Central Midlands Alliance
Young Elizabethan League

Our emphasis is always about participation, and we as a Club fully support the FA’s “For All”, "We Only Do Positive" and "Respect" initiatives and would encourage anyone, no matter what ability level they may be, to get involved in either playing football or volunteering to help run one of our numerous teams.

All managers and coaches are FA DBS checked and have a minimum of an FA Level 1 coaching qualification that includes "Safeguarding" and "First Aid", and we also have several coaches who are FA Level 2 qualified.

"Accredited Part Of England Football", formerly "FA Charter Standard", is awarded to Clubs and Leagues who are rigorously adjudged to be well-run and sustainable, and which prioritise child protection, quality coaching and implementation of the FA’s “Respect” programme, and we are proud to announce that once again Willington FC have been awarded their "Accreditation" status for the 2023/24 season. An award we have held since 2012, and a huge "thank you" goes out to all committee members, team managers and coaches for ensuring we are compliant.
