History

Balham Football Club was established in 2011 as an adult team for the Balham Blazers youth football club.^[2] They joined Junior Division One of the Surrey South Eastern Combination, and after finishing fourth in their first season,^[3] were promoted to Intermediate Division Two. In 2012–13 they finished third in Intermediate Division Two,^[4] earning promotion to Intermediate Division One, which they won the following season.^[5]

The club subsequently moved up to the Surrey Elite Intermediate League for the 2014–15 season, finishing third in their first season.^[6] Although this was a high-enough position for promotion to the Combined Counties League, the club's ground was not deemed up to standard for promotion.^[2] The following season the club moved to Cobham's Leg O'Mutton field in order to meet the ground grading criteria,^[2] and after finishing as runners-up, were promoted to Division One of the Combined Counties League.^[7] Prior to the 2016–17 season they moved to Collier Wood United's Wibbandune Sports Ground.^[7]
