ASCOT RACECOURSE SUPPORTS BERKS COUNTY FC

On Saturday, 4th October, 2025 Ascot Racecourse welcomed players from the U10 Girls and U11 Boys teams who have received sponsorship for the upcoming season via our Ascot Racecourse Supports community/charity programme.  This dovetails with their continued sponsorship of the Ascot United Warriors – a football team comprised of determined and talented athletes with special needs who compete in events for the Special Olympics. 

Berks County FC is a thriving community football club comprising more than 35 youth teams, alongside established Men’s and Women’s First Teams, providing clear pathways and aspirational goals for younger players.

The club was formed in 2009 following the merger of Sunninghill Saints’ junior teams and Bracknell Rovers’ senior teams. Since then, it has continued to grow in both size and stature, with the Men’s First Team currently competing at Step 6. In 2023, the Women’s First Team was established to complete the development pathway for girls, further strengthening opportunities for all players.

Berks County FC is a registered charity, funded through sponsorships, donations, and fundraising initiatives. While the club is primarily based in the Ascot and Sunningdale area, teams also extend to Egham, Bracknell, and Thatcham.

In recognition of this partnership, race naming rights were donated for the 16.10 race “The Ascot Racecourse Supports Berks County FC Handicap Stakes.

As a true community club, Berks County FC is always seeking new partners and supporters to help continue its growth and impact.
