19 Nov 2020: Today marks an exciting milestone for grassroots football as the Premier League, The FA, and Government's Football Foundation have 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.
A spokesperson for the Football Foundation explained the benefits. "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 promise to transform communities and change lives for the better."
The Plans look far reaching and should mean more people can play our national game, while 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."
