Men's team

In 2019 the club formed a men's team, joining the Vale of Clwyd and Conwy Football League, in its First Division. As the 2019–20 season was abandoned due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the league was decided by points per game, and NFA won the league title by 0.03 PPG ahead of Llysfaen. [3]

For the following season the North Wales Coast FA leagues were restructured, with NFA placed into the fourth-tier North Wales Coast East Football League Premier Division. [4] However the 2020–21 season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and when the 2021–22 season was played NFA were in Division One. They finished tenth in their first season in the new league. [5]

In the 2022–23 season the team finished second in the league, gaining promotion to the Premier Division. The following season they were Premier Division champions, and promoted to the third-tier Ardal Leagues. [5] [6] In their first season in the third tier, the team finished seventh out of sixteen teams. [5]

Women's team

In 2019 they had a team accepted into the North Wales Women's Football League. [7] For the 2023–24 season they were promoted to the Adran North, after finishing fourth in the North Wales Women's League. [8] In 2025 NFA were relegated, and replaced by Berriew in the second tier. [9] NFA joined the newly-formed North Wales Coast Women's Football League. [10]
