The club was formed in the summer of 2024 by players and community members from the Torfaen area. From the outset, Glascoed emphasised grassroots development and community engagement, launching a crowdfunding campaign that raised £1,715 to purchase a Veo 3 camera to support match analysis and produce highlights for the local community. [3] [4]

In September 2025, Glascoed’s debut season achievements were reported by multiple outlets including Yahoo Sports and the Free Press Series, highlighting both their competitive success and new sponsorship partnerships. [5] [6]
