It has long been our ambition to continue to be the most successful side in Portchester and have consistently applied to be in the Saturday Hampshire League. We are proud to say that in 1998/99 we were accepted in to Hampshire League Division 3. The club then gained successive promotions to Hampshire Division 1 becoming champions in 2001/02.

The season of 2002/03 saw a big change to Portchester football with the merge of AFC Portchester and Castle Royals. AFC Portchester now have teams from under 7's to Senior level. The club colours are Orange shirts, Black shorts and Orange socks, which is worn by the under 7's to the senior team. With the merge of the clubs we now have approximately 500 members, made up of around 80 men, 250 Youth team and up to 200 members in the mini soccer school, this has made us one of the biggest clubs in Hampshire.

We aim to offer qualified training by UEAFA qualified coaches also the club has a qualified child protection officer.

Within the club we have several generations of families managing, refereeing or playing. Some managers have played for the senior sides in the past and are looking to pass on their expertise to the boys and girls of Portchester. Where as before if you wanted to play a higher standard of football you had to travel out of the area now we don't, AFC Portchester Senior first team play in a high standard of football, and it is the clubs aim to good a lot further.

The Club now fully comply with the F.A.s Child Protection Policy. We do not only take an active part in our own children’s football, but we also care about youth football as a whole, which is why all managers will be attending the F.A.s Child Protection course, made available by the Hampshire Football Association. We have recognized that the youth of today are the future and we must do our up most to ensure that their future means being protected.
