WHAT IS FA ACCREDITED?

The FA Accredited Programme is The FA’s scheme open to all grassroots clubs and leagues. It aims to raise standards in the grassroots game and support the development of clubs and leagues. 

England Football Accredited is the new framework for League and Club accreditation, and replaces The FA Charter Standard.

To qualify as an FA Accredited Club, we must have positively changed the football landscape over the last 20 years, creating the ideal environment to nurture 
players, coaches and volunteers. The result is greater diversity and inclusivity throughout football and for this great achievement.

– whether male and / or female and / or disability players
