History Society (Football)

HistSoc FC is a student run football club, playing in the University of Southampton's Intramural Leagues. TEAM In recent seasons, HistSoc have had two competitive teams, and 2024-25 season will provide another chance for a new set of players to showcase their abilities. On the pitch, the 1s look to be compete at the competitive end of Division 1, having finished 5th after their invincible promotion season two years ago. The 2s look to build on an impressive showing last season, and aim to return to the second division. We view a complete team dynamic as crucial in achieving these aims - forged through outstanding attendance on both matchdays, on Sundays, and at training, on Wednesdays. SOCIAL We see the club's social aspect as key in establishing more than on-the-pitch team cohesion. For new members, joining us offers you the best possible opportunity to meet mates that you will keep throughout your time at Southampton. We aim to hold as many socials as we can - the first of many to be the legendary Pub Golf, in the early weeks of the academic year - with outrageous golfing attire an absolute must! TOUR The annual HistSoc FC tour has perhaps been the greatest casualty of the last four years. Years gone by have seen the boys wreak havoc across Europe, with places like Prague, Krakow and Budapest coming to mind. It goes without saying that this holiday won't just be a highlight of your university experience, but one you'll remember forever. With none of our current crop of players having not yet had the opportunity to tour, the return of the Histsoc FC tour is something we are all looking forward.
