COMING 2027–28
Worcestershire Community FC
Worcestershire Community FC is the next planned club within the Football Studies network. The 2027–28 target is a direction of travel, not confirmation that the club is already operating.
STATUS
Planned
TARGET
2027–28 season
LAUNCH CONDITION
Readiness and approval
Launch remains subject to evidence from Warwickshire Community FC, safeguarding and governance readiness, suitable leadership, coaches, facilities, finance and a formal go/no-go decision. No player recruitment, team entry or delivery start is being announced yet.
EXPANSION STANDARD
A second club must solve more than it creates
The 2027–28 target for Worcestershire Community FC remains conditional. Movement depends on evidence from Warwickshire Community FC and a formal review of the following areas.
Safety and governance
Safeguarding, responsible leadership, information controls and accountable decisions must be credible.
People and capacity
Coaching, administration, facilities and finance must be sufficient without destabilising Warwickshire Community FC.
Delivery quality
The present club must demonstrate standards worth carrying forward, not merely survive.
Local need
A new club must respond to a genuine local opportunity rather than an arbitrary growth target.
For now, delivery is Warwickshire.
Worcestershire is planned for 2027–28, but it will not open until the evidence and operating conditions support it.
