History
Evesham United FC was founded shortly after World War II by returning servicemen, replacing the town's earlier club Evesham Town, who had reached the FA Amateur Cup final in 1923. The new club started life in the Worcester League before switching to the Worcestershire Combination in 1951, winning the league title in their second season in the league. After a second title win in 1955 they switched to the Birmingham & District League where they were coached by former Coventry City captain Charlie Timmins during the 1960–61 season.
In 1962 the club left the Birmingham League and, after a short spell in the Warwickshire League, rejoined the Worcestershire Combination, which was renamed the Midland Combination soon afterwards, and in which they were to remain until 1992. During this time they claimed three more league titles, after the last of which they stepped up to the Southern League. In the 2004–05 season former Coventry City player David Busst led them to promotion to the Premier Division but the club was relegated straight back down after just one season.
In 2008 the club reached the FA Cup first round for the first time. They eventually lost 2–0 away to Torquay United. Earlier in the competition they defeated Rushden and Diamonds of the Conference 2–0 with a brace from Danny Scheppel.
Klubben blev grundlagt i 1897 og er dermed en af de ældste klubber i Worcestershire. Evesham United har vundet FA Vase en gang, i 1998, og har også vundet Southern League Division One South & West en gang, i 2003-04.
Evesham Uniteds hjemmebane er The Spiers & Hartwell Jubilee Stadium, som har en kapacitet på 3.000 tilskuere. Klubbens farver er rød og hvid.
Klubbens tilhængere kaldes "The Robins", og holdet har en stærk tilhængerskare. Evesham United har en række fanklubber, herunder Evesham United Supporters' Club og Evesham United Ladies Supporters' Club.
