Developing Community Based Football Pitches

The Cymru Football Foundation (CFF) is the charitable arm of the Football Association of Wales, and our unique role is to invest and develop football facilities that improve health, promote inclusion, and strengthen communities. The CFF has set an ambitious target of a high-quality football facility within 15 minutes of every community in Wales, prioritising those who need it the most.

To deliver this vision we want to work with a range of partners to embed facilities within communities that have limited access to inspiring football spaces. Specifically, we want to work closer with the Housing sector as part of a dedicated programme of investment to develop 'Cymru Courts' - Cymru inspired and branded small-sided artificial pitches located in urban communities enabling more people to play and strengthen community connection. These facilities could be developed either as part of future Housing developments or refurbish existing facilities that may have fallen into disrepair.

They look forward to sharing more details with you during the webinar and look forward to working together with you to deliver better facilities across our communities.
