Clapton

Clapton Community was formed on 27 January 2018 by disillusioned supporters of Clapton F.C. after what they deemed as mismanagement of the club by chairman Vince McBean. During the club's debut season, they sold 11,500 away shirts, with 5,500 to Spain, after the kit was based on the International Brigades and the Flag of the Second Spanish Republic.

In April 2019, CE Júpiter hosted Clapton in a friendly match which celebrated the Spanish Republican spirit, with Clapton wearing kits inspired by the Second Spanish Republic and International Brigades. The match was touted as symbolising both clubs' commitment to anti-fascism and working class identity.

On 11 May 2019, Clapton won the Middlesex County League Division One (Central and East), gaining promotion to the Premier Division, after a 3–0 win against FC Roast. The club entered the FA Vase for the first time in 2019–20.

In June 2019, the club announced the formation of a women's team with the former AFC Stoke Newington first team coming under the Clapton Community banner. The women's team competed in Division One of the Greater London Women's Football League in the 2019–20 season but were promoted to the London and South East Women's Regional Football League Division One North in the 2021–22 season.

While the October 2020 Polish protests were taking place, the women's team expressed solidarity with the protesters by posing next to a banner dedicated to the women's rights protest, which has been noticed by Polish media.

On 12 March 2021, the club won the Football Supporter Association's 'Lockdown Heroes' award for their Community Fund initiative, 'Clapton against Corona', fundraising and providing financial assistance to local people whose livelihood was affected by coronavirus. The original club withdrew from competition in advance of the 2024–25 season, leaving Clapton CFC as the district's primary football club. In May 2025, they defeated Forest Hill Park in the final of the SCEFL Division One Cup. Having been unsuccessful in their appeal the previous year, the club were successfully transferred back to the Eastern Counties League ahead of the 2025–26 season.

In February 2025, following an AGM resolution, the club established Men’s Over 35s team which joined the Essex Veterans League in the team’s inaugural 2025/2026 season. The team finish third in Division Three (West).
