Solent Sports FC:
Vets Over 35
Welcome to the home of Solent Sports Vets Teams.
About the Vets Teams
Solent Sports football league journey was started with the formation of a vets team back in 2020.
In the beginning we formed a partnership with local team Follands fc, this partnership lasted a season before we set up two teams, Portsmouth and Hamble.
The Portsmouth team remained for two years before dispanding and moving into charity football.
Our Waterside team was formed from the merger of the Barbarians team in 24/25 and the Eastleigh team was formed at the same time due to an excess of players.
All of our vets teams are currently in the same league which adds some extra spice with they play each other.
