AFC Liverpool is a community based football club founded in 2008, which has just completed its first season in the Vodkat League Division 1 (commonly known as the North West Counties League).

It is based in Liverpool and currently plays home matches at Valerie Park, Prescot, Merseyside and travels across the entire north west of England for away games. This division is Step 6 on the Football League pyramid and AFC Liverpool hopes to rise through this pyramid as quickly as possible.

The club was formed by fans of Liverpool FC who were finding the costs associated with following a Premier League football club to be too high. The club was therefore formed in order to provide fans of Liverpool FC with a grassroots alternative to the Premier League, whilst maintaining the traditions and atmosphere that Liverpool fans have enjoyed through the generations, an objective which has been achieved throughout the club's first season.

AFC Liverpool's attendances during season 2008/09 have averaged 350, with a high in excess of 600, which is comparable to clubs in much higher leagues.

In addition to this they also have a large following of supporters across the UK and overseas, something they hope to build upon. The club operates as a "members owned football club", with each member having a vote in the club, which currently has in excess of 1,000 members.

Not only does the club offer prospective sponsors the usual benefits associated with club sponsorship, but also an ongoing partnership throughout any contractual period, designed to deliver value for money for sponsoring businesses and to maximise return on investment.

AFC Liverpool will assist its partners to grow their brands via a range of marketing tools available to the club, both online and offline.
