Members of the Toolstation NCEL st 1 Division, West Riding CFA & The Football Association

#Upthewellie

Formed in 1976, Armthorpe Welfare FC currently play our football in the Toolstation Northern Counties East Football League First Division and have been run by hard working volunteers for over 40 years. We are a family friendly club at the heart of our community and we rely upon the support of this community and local businesses to maintain our proud tradition of grass roots football.

There are however huge financial costs involved in running a team at this level from league fees, referee’s fees and utility bills, to kit and equipment costs and essential ground and pitch maintenance. All of these costs are funded solely through many local businesses who sponsor our club in various ways. Without the support of these businesses, we would not be in existence, and we are very appreciative of those who help us.

The league we compete in involves teams as far reaching as Bradford, Harrogate, Hull, Skegness and Nottingham, and more locally in Doncaster, Leeds, , , Scunthorpe and Wakefield, providing widespread exposure of your company to thousands of supporters. We also compete in the national Football Association competitions - the famous FA Cup and the FA Vase. In addition we compete in a County FA Cup contested by teams in the West Riding of , culminating in a final that is played at a football league ground.

We have a number of sponsorship opportunities available to suit businesses and individuals alike, so why not show your support for the club whilst gaining some extra exposure for your business, or just for yourself?
