In 2016 Ilford Football Club is 135 years old. Founded in 1881, we are the senior sporting organisation within the Borough of Redbridge. During our long history we have come up against many top sides, performed (twice) in Wembley Cup Finals and achieved national acclaim. The story of our Club and of the characters who shaped its progress is the story of the development of the modern game itself. Ilford FC's committee and members are rightly proud of this heritage and are committed to elevating the modern Ilford once more to a level at which our name is known and admired. We believe that the best years are yet to come.
