History

Meifod Football Club was founded in 1958. In the 1997–98 season they won the Montgomeryshire League title, one point ahead of Llanrhaeadr. [2] They then joined the Mid Wales Football League, where they stayed until 2002. [3]

In 2010 the club rejoined the Mid Wales League, in its newly formed Division Two, after a spell in the Montgomeryshire League. [3] They also competed in the 2010–11 Welsh Cup, losing in the first qualifying round, 2–1 at home to Gaerwen. [4] In 2012 they again left the Mid Wales League, having finished bottom of Division Two in both of their two seasons. [3]

In the 2016–17 season Meifod were runners-up in the Llansantffraid Village Cup, having lost 3–1 in the final against Caersws reserves. [5]

In the 2021–22 season Meifod were Montgomeryshire League champions, [6] also winning the Llansantffraid Village Cup [7] and finishing runners-up in the Boys and Boden Montgomeryshire League Cup. [8] After this they joined the Central Wales Football League Northern Division, and finished 13th and 12th in their first two seasons. [3] However, the club resigned from the league in September 2024 as new owners kicked them out of their home ground, and so were unable to play the season. [9] [10] The club folded shortly after.
