Hereford United have been wound up after a court heard that there was no evidence of finance being in place to pay their debts.
Hereford, founded in 1924, were asked to prove that they had sufficient funds - believed to be in the region of £1m - to pay off debts that included a six-figure sum owed to HM Revenue and Customs.
Owner Andrew Lonsdale had promised to invest some of his own money in the club, which was expelled from the Football Conference in June after failing to pay creditors.
The club, who were relegated from the Football League in 2012, have been playing in the Southern League this season.
A Herefordshire Council spokesman said: "As Hereford United Football Club (1939) Limited is in the process of being wound up and a liquidator will be appointed, this action triggers the council's right as landlord to forfeit the leases.
"The council will now pursue this and seek to gain formal repossession of all three sites leased to the club. Once the ground has been secured, the council will consider the appropriate process for procuring a new tenant to ensure the continuation of football."
