Sudbury Court FC is an amateur football club based in Sudbury, West London. The present incarnation of the club was founded in 2016 as the byproduct of a community football initiative spearheaded by Brent Council, The Football Foundation and the Sudbury Court Residents Association, with the club receiving an initial £5,000 grant from Brent Council to improve the facilities at the Sudbury Court Sports & Social Club, in addition to a £1,500 grant from The Football Foundation.
The club will play the 2016-17 season in the Middlesex County Football League Combination, having taken over the affiliation & registration of the previous Sudbury Court, which counts John Barnes amongst its alumni. The club is currently affiliated to the Middlesex County FA.
Since July 2016, the club has been managed by Olly James. The young manager has been a perennial figure at the club for some years, and was selected by the board for his tireless work despite his relative managerial inexperience.

History to follow
Sudbury Court currently play their home games at the Sudbury Court Sports & Social Club, located on the Vale Farm sports complex in Sudbury. The ground has a capacity of 500 all standing, and boasts a grass pitch measuring 112 x 71 yards alongside a full size 3G pitch which the club uses for training sessions.
Work to improve the ground and facilities was completed on August 20th, 2016 and was funded by a £5,000 grant from Brent Council, who own the site that the ground occupies. The work, led by a team of volunteers, included a new covered supporters area, improvements to both home and away dugouts, the installation of perimeter fencing and general landscaping to improve the ground's accessibility.

Sudbury Court’s primary club colours are red and black. Since 2016, both home and away kits have been manufactured by EV2 Sportswear. The home kit features a prominent Inter Milan style diagonal stripe of crimson and black on a red background, whereas the away kit is a simple black design with a white collar.
The club’s badge was redesigned in 2016, to coincide with the clubs takeover, and features a red background with a crimson embellishment of a church, symbolising Sudbury’s rich religious heritage.
The club’s main rivals are AFC Sudbury, however with the current gulf in league positions between the two it is unlikely they will meet regularly in competition.
Sudbury Court also share a lesser rivalry with AFC Wembley, who play two leagues above Sudbury Court in the Middlesex County Football League Premier Division, and whose ground is located just a short walk from Vale Farm.
