Hampshire Premier League

The Hampshire Premier League is a football competition based in Hampshire, England. The league was formed in 2007[1] and currently consists of a 'Senior Division' of 16 teams, most of which were previously members of the disbanded Division 2 of the Wessex League, and a Division One of 12 teams. The league is currently actively seeking a new sponsor.

In May 2008 it was announced that the league was in talks with the Hampshire League 2004 about merging the two leagues into a new competition which it was hoped would officially gain Step 7 status,[2] and although the merger did not take place, the status of the Hampshire Premier League at Step 7 of the National League System (or level 11 of the overall English football league system) was confirmed by The Football Association on 15 May 2008.[3] The Hampshire League then appealed to the FA, claiming it should gain similar status, but the appeal was rejected.[4]

The Hampshire League 2004 was dissolved at the end of the 2012-13 season, with the majority of the teams joining the newly created Division One of the Hampshire Premier League.[5]
