Humble beginnings

In 2012, a local team decided to fold their 2nd team from the Coventry Sunday Football League. Our current Chairman and Co-Chairman Sat Padda and Satinder Sandhu, at the time, were players and decided that they would take over and run it as a separate Football Club. It was at that point that AFC Coventry Lions was born

Our Vision

Our vision is to see AFC Coventry (The Lions) participating successfully in the Midlands Football League (Step 11/12 of National Football League) division two or reserves by expanding our footballing reputation in Coventry and surrounding regions. We envisage the future of an inclusive, thriving FA Charter Standard and commercially sustainable ‘no dividends football club, owned and run by members, operating at its own premises one day and elsewhere as a centre of football excellence, used and frequented by all sections of our community.

We seek to operate as an integral part of the community, helping meet societal needs in social inclusion, health and well-being and education. We will have close links with other community and sporting organisations, with the profile and brand image of the Club benefitting our locality and catchment areas.

Our strategic objectives

01 Promoting sustainability:

to build a sustainable, income-generating club, run as a business, improving football-related and non-football commercial income to sustain our sporting core success;

02 Promoting Excellence:

to build a competitive senior team moving from “amateur” to “non-league” status capable of competing regularly for domestic league and cup trophies, and – in time – capable of challenging to reach FA Vase

03 Promoting Football for All

to promote opportunities to all young people to progress to the level appropriate to their ability and choice; to promote ‘grassroots’ football within all communities and underrepresented groups to grow the Lions ‘family’;

04 Social Inclusion

to cement the place of AFC Coventry as a ‘networked’ club at the heart of the community, as a focal point to the local area, its people and families.
