About AFC Whyteleafe
AFC Whyteleafe was formed in 2021 by chairman Kelly Waters after Whyteleafe FC folded, starting in the Surrey South Eastern Combination. The club rose quickly through SCEFL Division One, Combined Counties Premier South and the Isthmian South East Division.
In 2024–25 they won Combined Counties Premier South and reached the FA Vase final at Wembley. In 2025–26 they finished fourth in Isthmian South East and won promotion via the play-offs.
From 2026/27 they compete in the Isthmian League Premier Division, ground-sharing at Flamingo Park with Cray Wanderers. Church Road in Whyteleafe remains for training and youth football.
