Football in Isleworth

Old Isleworthians Association Football Club

Calling all football fans in Isleworth and beyond! It's time to rally behind our local heroes - the Isleworthians!

Did you know that our beloved Old Isleworthians Association Football Club (OIAFC) has been kicking balls and scoring goals since 1902? That's over a century of football passion right here in our community!

The Isleworthians aren't just any team - they're a piece of Isleworth history. For 50 years, these dedicated players didn't even have a permanent home, but that didn't stop them from pursuing their love of the game. Talk about commitment!
After World War II, our community came together to give the Isleworthians the home they deserved. In 1948, with nothing more than an old orchard and a dream, the Memorial Ground was born. Volunteers rolled up their sleeves, transforming two old Ministry of Defence huts into a clubhouse. Now that's teamwork both on and off the pitch!

Today, the Memorial Ground is a hub of sporting activity. It's not just about the men's team - we've got a thriving colts section too, nurturing the next generation of local talent. And let's not forget the cricket and rugby teams that call this ground home.

The Isleworthians are more than just a football club - they're a pillar of our community. From hosting charity events to providing a venue for local functions, they're always giving back to Isleworth.

So, whether you're a lifelong fan or new to the area, why not come down to the Memorial Ground and show your support? Cheer on the team that's been representing Isleworth for over 120 years. Who knows, you might even spot a future England international - the club has strong ties with Isleworth & Syon School, which has produced some impressive sporting talent over the years!
Let's keep the Isleworthians' legacy alive and kicking. See you at the next match!
