Ascot United Football Club, nicknamed “The Yellas,” is a non-league football club based in Ascot, Berkshire.
Established in 1965, they currently compete in the Pitching In Isthmian League South Central Division, which is part of the eighth tier of English football. The team calls Ascot Racecourse their home ground.
A men’s side began playing in Sunninghill in 1965 before moving to land beside Ascot Racecourse, where a wooden clubhouse was built and local trophies were collected. Youth football expanded and, in 1992, the East Berks Youth League was launched to provide competitive matches for seven- and eight-year-olds.
Ascot United erected new facilities in 1990 and 1991 and, after linking with Charters School in 2003, gained FA Charter Community status the next year. The senior team won the Reading Senior League and Evening Post Cup in 2006, earned promotion to the Hellenic League, upgraded the ground again in 2010 and drew a record 1,150 for a televised FA Cup tie with Wembley FC in 2011.
A 3G pitch opened in 2019, but the pandemic soon interrupted play and shifted club operations online. The men’s side ousted Wycombe Wanderers from the Berks & Bucks Senior Cup in 2022, while a disability squad and girls’ development centre were formed. In 2023 the men lifted the Combined Counties Premier North title and the FA Vase, the women collected regional cups, and several youth and girls’ teams added county and league honours, bringing membership to more than fifty squads.
