About Kent FA Recreational Cup
Social 11-a-side football in Kent
The Kent FA Recreational Cup is an 11-a-side social competition organised by Kent FA for local recreational teams. It was introduced in the 2024–25 season as a flexible competition, giving teams a route into sanctioned football without the commitment of a traditional weekly league programme.
Read the full league overview
The cup has used a group stage followed by a final, rather than a full home-and-away league campaign. University of Kent Staff and New Dads United are examples of teams that have taken part; they are not a complete list of participants.
Who it serves
The competition is intended for adult recreational sides and community-based teams. University of Kent describes games taking place every few weeks, while New Dads United uses the cup alongside its own monthly 11-a-side programme. These examples illustrate flexible participation arrangements rather than a universal match schedule.
Teams interested in the competition should contact Kent FA or an existing participant for current entry information. Players can also look for local recreational teams rather than assuming that individual clubs operate weekly league sides.
