All new FA Community Clubs are required to meet FA criteria, ensuring they provide opportunities for players irrespective of age, gender, religion and ability. Clubs must also provide qualified coaches, first aiders and child protection officers.
All clubs that meet the criteria and achieve FA Community Club status will receive a host of benefits, including:
use of The FA Charter Standard logo
- Opportunities for tickets for England youth and women's internationals.
Although gaining Community Club status cannot guarantee funding from the Football Foundation for facility improvement, gaining the kite-mark has already been a significant factor in assisting clubs funding applications by providing evidence of a commitment to providing a sporting facility for use by the entire community.
Becoming an FA Community club should be the ultimate goal for hundreds of clubs at grassroots level. The FA will help you achieve that goal!
