History
Eversley Football Club was established in 1910.[1] The club played in the Aldershot Senior League and Surrey County Intermediate League (Western), before becoming founder members of the Surrey Elite Intermediate Football League in 2008.[2] They won the league in its first season, also winning the league's Challenge Cup.[3] They were subsequently promoted to Division One of the Combined Counties League.
In 2012 the club merged with California, a youth football club established in 1975 in California in Berkshire,[1] changing its name to Eversley & California.[2] In 2013–14 they were Division One runners-up,[4] but were unable to take promotion due to restrictions on use of the floodlights at the ground.[5] In 2023–24 the club finished fourth in Division One, qualifying for the promotion play-offs, in which they lost 2–0 to Berks County FC in the semi-finals. The following season saw another fourth-place finish. In the subsequent play-offs, they defeated Penn & Tylers Green on penalties, before beating Westside 1–0 in the final to earn promotion to the Premier Division South.[6]

Ground
The club play at the Eversley Sports Association on Fox Lane. The ground was originally the home of California, who developed the site, which was reclaimed land, after receiving a Football Foundation grant of £666,556 in 2007.[1][7] The ground opened in 2009, featuring a railed pitch and a 57-seat stand.[7] The entire complex cost £2.1m.[7] When floodlights were installed, their use was restricted to 15 October–1 April.[8] However, this was later extended from 1 August–30 April.[9]
