| Club History | AFC Acorns to become Crawley AFC: We are thrilled to announce that AFC Acorns will be rebranding as Crawley AFC, effective from June 2023. This transformation reflects the club’s unwavering commitment to growth and its dedication to providing outstanding coaching and playing opportunities to the Crawley catchment area. Crawley AFC has firmly established itself as a leading force in women’s and girls’ football, and the name change signifies the club’s determination to maintain and enhance the rate and standard of coaching and playing opportunities offered. With the departure of Wasps from the area, it is now more crucial than ever for local football clubs to step up and fulfil the local female footballing requirements, and Crawley AFC is ready to embrace this responsibility. While the men’s section of the club continues to flourish both on and off the pitch, plans are already in motion to establish a boy’s youth section. By expanding its offerings, Crawley AFC aims to position itself not just as a club for football enthusiasts, but as a vital part of the town’s community, welcoming everyone to be a part of its journey. As part of the rebranding process, the club will also be unveiling a new brand and club badge that aligns with Crawley’s rich heritage and history. These visual elements will represent the club’s deep roots in the town and its aspirations for the future. In the upcoming weeks, Crawley AFC will be providing numerous updates and organising exciting new events, including open training sessions that will be added to the summer schedule. These initiatives are designed to engage with the community, attract new players, and foster a love for football at all levels. Crawley AFC is immensely excited about the changes ahead and looks forward to sharing more details and inviting everyone to be a part of its vibrant and inclusive footballing family |
