Club Profile

Kelty Hearts FC is a progressive Scottish football club based in Kelty, Fife, with recent experience in Scottish League One, the third tier of Scottish football. Founded in 1975, the club has grown rapidly from the junior game into the SPFL, winning League Two in its first SPFL season in 2021/22. The club plays at New Central Park, a compact c.2,160-capacity stadium that provides a solid platform for community use and future development. Located in Fife, a region of over 370,000 people, Kelty combines strong local identity with access to a wider regional catchment. Following its 2026 majority investment by a US-led consortium, the club now has international backing, SPFL credibility and clear scope for further growth.
