Dartford Football Club, founded in 1888, is a semi-professional football club based in Dartford, Kent, England. Nicknamed "the Darts", they currently compete in the Isthmian League Premier Division, which is the seventh tier of the English football league system.
The club plays its home matches at Princes Park, an environmentally friendly stadium that opened in 2006 and has a capacity of 4,100, with 642 seats. Princes Park boasts unique features such as a living roof and a water recycling system.
Dartford has a rich history marked by periods of both struggle and success. The 1930s saw the club achieve national recognition by becoming the first non-league club to reach the FA Cup Third Round Proper in successive seasons. The club reached the FA Trophy final once in 1974. In recent decades, Dartford has experienced a rise through the non-league pyramid, achieving promotion to the National League (formerly Conference Premier) in 2012, where they spent three seasons.
