Football Foundation 2023 Funding

Up to a further £168 million will be invested into grassroots football facilities in England by 2025 as part of an ongoing commitment to deliver grassroots facilities in every community. 

The funding will be delivered by the Football Foundation - a partnership between the Premier League, The FA, and the Department for Culture Media and Sport  - to improve and upgrade pitches and facilities across the country.

Richard Fuller MP said:

I would encourage grassroots football clubs and schools with a relevant project that could benefit from this investment in the next two financial years to contact the Football Foundation.
