Brief History of the League

The League was formed in 2013 and was an amalgamation of the Gosport and Fareham League and the Solent Football League. The origins of Gosport and Fareham League can be traced back to 1904 and the creation of the Gosport District League which later became known as the Gosport and Fareham League.

The Solent Football League, previously named the Solent Premier League, was formed in 1987 from clubs of the Friendly League that started in 1971. In 1995 the Solent Premier League applied for affiliation to the Hampshire Football Association. It was subsequently suggested by the Portsmouth Football Association that the League become the Solent Divisions of the Gosport and Fareham League and the League was created. In the 1995/6 season the Solent Premier League became known as the Solent Divisions of the Gosport and Fareham League and after two seasons the Solent Divisions decided to once again apply for affiliation to Hampshire FA, as the Solent Football League. This application was successful and led, in the 1997/8 season, to the League's membership to Hampshire FA as well as the Portsmouth Divisional Football Association.
