A.F.C. Liverpool, Community football club in Liverpool, England
A.F.C. Liverpool is a community football club competing in the North West Counties League Premier Division, based at Rossett Park stadium. The ground accommodates 2,150 spectators and provides matches at a grassroots level.
The club was founded in 2008 by around one thousand Liverpool Football Club supporters frustrated with rising ticket prices and ownership decisions. This grassroots initiative emerged as an alternative to traditional professional football structures.
Members have equal voting rights in club decisions, allowing supporters to shape the direction and priorities of the organization. This democratic approach reflects the founders' desire for community involvement rather than top-down management.
Ticket prices are considerably lower than at professional clubs, making matches affordable for families and local supporters. Matches take place at Rossett Park, which is accessible to the community.
The club relocated to Rossett Park in 2014 from their original home at Valerie Park, marking a turning point in their development. This move provided improved facilities and stability for the growing grassroots organization.
