About us
Wolverley FC is a community, grassroots football club located in the heart of Worcestershire.
The club was founded in 2023 to provide young people with a safe space to play football, make friends and develop themselves – on and off the pitch.
We pride ourselves on the role we play in our local community, and regularly get involved in off-the-pitch events and initiatives.
In just our second year we were recognised as the Worcestershire FA’s 2025 Club of the Year at the organisation’s annual awards.

The Greater Game
We are a flagship club for the FA’s initiative ‘The Greater Game’.
The Greater Game is a purpose-led programme which uses the power of football to improve the health and wellbeing of young people across the nation. It’s made specifically for those aged 12-16 years, although we are taking a whole club approach.
It has four key elements: Move well, think well, eat well and sleep well. The aim? To inspire all young people to make at least one healthier action per week.
The legend of the swan
Ever wondered why the village of Wolverley is associated with swans?
The legend tells of a knight from Wolverley, Sir John Attwood, who left his wife to join the Crusades a thousand years ago. A long period of time passed and, when he didn’t return, he was presumed dead and his wife planned to remarry.
However on the morning of the wedding a dishevelled Sir Attwood returned. He claimed he had been kept in a Saracen dungeon for years. Some versions of the story speak of divine intervention that led to his return, but Sir John claimed it was a swan that guided him back to Wolverley – and so the legend of the swan was born.
