History
Ebbsfleet United Football Club was founded in 1946 as Gravesend & Northfleet, adopting its current name in 2007. The club plays at Stonebridge Road and has fluctuated between different leagues. Key achievements include winning the Southern League (1957-58), joining the Alliance Premier League (1979), and winning the FA Trophy (2007-08).
In 2007, MyFootballClub, a web-based venture, took over the club, allowing members to vote on significant decisions. However, membership declined, leading to financial struggles and relegations. In 2013, KEH Sports Ltd, a Kuwaiti investment group, acquired the club, improving finances and infrastructure.
The club has faced relegation and promotion in recent years, dropping to the National League South in 2019-20, but was promoted back to the National League in 2022-23 under manager Dennis Kutrieb. Ebbsfleet’s journey reflects the volatility and excitement of non-league football.
