Frimley Green Football Club is a football club established in 1919 and based in Frimley Green, near Camberley, Surrey, England. In 1981, they joined the Combined Counties Football League West Division. They reached the Second Round of the FA Vase in the 1979-80 season. As of 2007-08, the club plays in the Combined Counties Football League Division One.
The present clubhouse was erected in 1972 when 'The Green' competed in the London Spartan League and used a pitch on the lower part of the park with the changing once standing where the car park is now. A few years later, a new pitch was laid adjacent to the clubhouse and changing rooms added to the clubhouse building.
The reserve team joined the Combined Counties League in 1979 and in time the start of the 1981/82 season, the First Team switched to the league and floodlights were installed for the first time. The club competed in the league for 15 years during which time they won the Dan Air Elite Cup and the Reserves won the Division One Challenge Cup.
Due to the financial situation in 1994, the club dropped down into junior football. They were runners up in the Surrey Intermediate League (Western) in their first season, but were denied promotion to the Surrey Premier League. The next four seasons saw a period of rebuilding and repayment of debts. In 1999 the club were finally accepted into the Surrey Premier League after finishing runners up in the league and winning the League Cup. Off the field, new Floodlights were installed and a Boardroom created within the clubhouse.
A three season spell followed in the renamed Surrey Senior League which saw the club finish fourth, sixth and Runners Up which allowed them to attain promotion back to the Combined Counties League where they have been since. Season 2004/05 was the clubs most successful to date finishing 15th and amassing 58 points.
Season 2005/06 was a disappointing one for the club as with a poor start, the players worked very hard to finish outside the relegation slots. Major ground improvements then commenced with the fixed barrier extended to all four sides of the pitch and a Public Address system purchased. Despite the improvements however, the club was demoted to Division 1 due to ground grading and to make way for seven clubs from the old Ryman Division 2.
