The acquisition puts the club on a more secure financial base, after the team came close to going into administration last year.

What comes next?

Woking FC has appointed three new members to their Board of Directors, including Dean Curtis, Kathryn Swallow, and Steven Batchelor.

As of 27 Jun 2026, Woking stands 10th in the National League, with 63 points from 46 games, and a recent form of LWDWD. | Category | Stat | | --- | --- | | League Standing | 10th | | Points | 63 | | Recent Form | LWDWD | | Goals Scored | 69 | | Goals Conceded | 54 | | Goal Difference | +15 | The team's last result was a 0-1 loss to FC Halifax Town on 2026-04-25.
