About the Club:
Hereford FC is a professional football club based in Hereford, England. Founded in 2014, the club has quickly gained a strong following and has become a prominent part of the local community.
The history of football in Hereford can be traced back to the late 19th century, with the formation of Hereford City in 1886. However, it was not until 1924 that Hereford was given a professional team, with the establishment of Hereford United. The club had a successful run in the Southern League, winning multiple titles and reaching the third round of the FA Cup in 1972.
In 1997, Hereford United went into administration and were eventually relegated to non-league football. This led to the formation of Hereford FC in 2014, with the aim of bringing professional football back to the city.
The club's home ground is Edgar Street Stadium, which has a capacity of over 4,900. The stadium has a long history, having been used by both Hereford United and Hereford City. It has also hosted several international matches for the England national football team and has been used as a venue for other sports, such as rugby and athletics.
Since its formation, Hereford FC has had a string of successful seasons, winning multiple league titles and cups. In 2015, the club achieved promotion to the National League North, the sixth tier of the English football league system. The following season, they reached the final of the FA Vase, a prestigious cup competition for non-league teams.
The club has also faced some challenges, such as financial difficulties and a temporary expulsion from the league due to stadium safety concerns. However, the support from the fans and the determination of the team have helped the club overcome these obstacles and continue to thrive.
Today, Hereford FC is a well-supported and respected club in the local community, with a strong focus on youth development and community engagement. They continue to strive for success and bring pride to the city of Hereford.
