Historic moment for the game
21st November 2020
Today marks an exciting milestone for grassroots football as the Premier
League, The FA and Government's Football Foundation has announced the completion of the Local Football Facility Plans. The Plans outline what
facilities every local authority area across England needs to meet the
demand of football in their area.
For the first time, this country has a roadmap to invest and build what
every community needs. And the benefits of the facilities set out in the
Plans go far beyond the pitch. They transform communities and change
lives for the better. It’ll mean more people can play our national
game, physical and mental health can be improved, communities can grow
stronger and young people become more empowered.
But the Plans are just the first step. We need to work with local
authorities, partners and communities to turn these plans into reality.
Everyone has their part to play. Find out how you can play yours by heading to the Football Foundation
website and searching for your Local Plan.

I am thinking of all the fighting, And the peace that we have today. '
