Feckenham Football Club is a football club based in Feckenham, near Redditch, Worcestershire, England. They are currently members of the Midland League Division Two and play at the Studley Sports & Social Club in Studley.

History

The club was established in 1881.[1] They were founder members of the Redditch League and were league champions in 1920–21.[1] The club then moved up to the Worcester League, which they won in 1955–56 and 1962–63.[2] They also won the Worcester Minor Cup in 1978–79.[2]

In 1995 Feckenham moved up to Division Three of the Midland Combination.[3] They won Division Three at the first attempt and were promoted to Division Two. The club went on to win Division Two in 1996–97 to earn a second successive promotion, this time to Division One. A third successive promotion was secured when they finished third in Division One the 1997–98, resulting in promotion to the Premier Division.[3]

At the end of the 2007–08 season Feckenham dropped two divisions, replacing their reserve team in Division Two.[3] They were Division Two runners-up in 2010–11 and were promoted back to Division One.[3] When the Midland Combination merged with the Midland Alliance to form the Midland League in 2014, Feckenham became members of Division Two of the new league.[3]
