Moneyfields Football Club, nicknamed “The Moneys,” is a non-league football club based in Portsmouth, Hampshire.

Established in 1987, 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 John Jenkins Stadium their home ground.

Originally a reserve side in the Portsmouth leagues, the team gained three consecutive promotions to reach Hampshire League Division One by 1991, lifting the Portsmouth Senior Cup in 1991 and 1992 and the Hampshire Intermediate Cup in 1992 and 1993.

After relocating to Moneyfields Sports Ground in 1994, the side, guided by George Wain and Micky Gee, never finished below sixth and won the 1996-97 Division One title. Lottery-funded facility upgrades enabled entry to the Wessex League in 1998, where a sixth-place debut preceded steady mid-table finishes until 2001.

Subsequent managerial teams oversaw appearances in cup finals, individual scoring records and third-place league finishes before Dave Carter’s arrival in 2015. His tenure brought promotion to the Southern League despite a points deduction in 2017 and a 2019 play-off berth, but pandemic disruption and lost sponsorship led to a voluntary return to the Wessex League in 2021. Playing at Havant & Waterlooville during Dover Road’s redevelopment, attendances peaked at 1,012 in December 2022, and a 4-2 win at Laverstock & Ford on 13 April 2024 sealed the Wessex Premier Division title.
