It's Coming home

After an 11-year wait, Cambridge City FC are finally coming home! 

We are thrilled to announce that after years of determination and resilience, Cambridge City FC now has a new home. Since that pivotal day when the City Ground at Milton Road was sold, the club has faced challenge after challenge, but thanks to the tenacity of the Supporters Trust, club owners, and investors, the wait is finally over.

A brand-new stadium has been constructed on the outskirts of Cambridge in Sawston, designed with the spirit of the old City Ground in mind. This project hasn’t been without its own battles, but we’re delighted to see it through to a point where we can start to play football there.

Mark your calendars: Saturday, November 30th marks the beginning of a new era, as we host Tilbury FC in the Isthmian North division. With former Premier League striker Jamie Cureton at the helm, the Lilywhites are poised for an exciting future. Along with a potential new fan base, this move offers the club a chance to grow and establish financial independence—marking the start of a bright new chapter.

The club would like to go on record to offer our sincere thanks to both St Ives Town FC and Histon FC, who have supported us with ground share arrangements over the past 11 seasons.   Without them it would have been very difficult to continue to and their generosity of spirit is greatly appreciated.

Words from Our Team

🔹 Alice Dewey, General Manager:

“As a lifelong City fan, becoming General Manager is a dream come true—especially now, as we finally have this chance to bring Cambridge City FC back to its former glories. It’s been a long slog and a long learning curve for me but we finally have light at the end of the tunnel and I can’t wait to get started”

🔹 Kevin Satchell, Chairman:

“This new stadium is a huge step forward for us. We dreamed of watching City in its own home again, and despite the obstacles, we are finally making that dream a reality. This is a proud day for me, my family, and all the City fans who have supported us through thick and thin.”

🔹 Jamie Cureton, First Team Manager:

“We’re thrilled to be here with Cambridge City FC. From our first meeting with the board, we were impressed by their vision and ambition to see this club rise to the higher levels of non-league football and beyond. I hope my experience in the game can help bring this vision to life.”

Our Vision for the Future

This stadium is just the beginning. While the turnstiles  are open, we’re still working on the internal fit-out of the main stand, which will soon include a restaurant and bar available year-round, and an executive lounge for matchday guests, events, and meetings.

Additionally, we’re excited to prioritize sustainability and create opportunities for young people. The club’s new academy is set to launch in September 2025, offering young players a path to a sports science qualification alongside their football training—a vital resource for nurturing local talent. We’ll bring you more information on this soon.

In the meantime, we can’t wait to welcome you all to the FWD/IP Community Stadium  for a taste of what is to come.
