Deveronvale F.C. are senior football club currently playing the Highland Football League in Scotland. They were founded in 1938 and play their football at the Princess Royal Park in the town of Banff, (formerly Banffshire, now officially Aberdeenshire), Scotland. The club was formed in 1938 when Deveron Valley and Banff Rovers joined together. The name comes from the River Deveron, which has its mouth at Banff. After they were formed it took them one year to get into the Highland league. In August 1939 Deveronvale played their first league game. Their first win came a month later. Due to them being a senior team they can play in the Scottish Cup. In the 2006–07 season, Deveronvale made it into the fourth round of the Scottish Cup after a 5–4 defeat of Third Division side Elgin City, before going out at home to First Division side Partick Thistle.[1][2]

In the 2011–12 season, for the first time ever, Deveronvale will enter the Ramsdens Cup, and will play Stirling Albion at home.[3]
