About Takeley

Takeley Football Club are based in Takeley, Essex. Research on takeleyfc.co.uk uncovered that the club were playing in November 1900 — three years earlier than previously thought — having originally been believed to have been founded in 1903.

They compete in the Isthmian League North for the 2026/27 season, having gained promotion on 3 May 2025 with a 2–0 Essex Senior League play-off final win over Woodford Town. In 2025–26 they finished 17th of 22.

Home matches are played at the Full Vision Stadium on Station Road. A clubhouse was built in 2001, the ground was fully enclosed in 2003–04, and a new stand was erected in 2009.
