KCFC was initially formed in 1998 by Huw Williams, Gareth Hughes, Richard “TB” Davies and Jon “JC” Collett.
Following many initial successes KCFC merged with the Alliance Futbal Club in 2000. In 2007 the club became more commonly known as KCFC.
2008/09 saw the formation of an association between KCFC and Futura FC which resulted in the KCFC/Futura Academy teams being formed in the U13B and U13G divisions.
