Facility Development
FROM THE TRAINING GROUND, TO THE PITCH, TO THE CLUBHOUSE...
...facilities are essential to enable the growth and development of football across all levels of football.
Working in partnership with the Football Foundation, local authorities and other partner organisations, Middlesex FA aims to support and guide applicants through the process of developing a project.
If you are looking to improve your football facilities (which may involve 3G football turf pitches, changing room pavilions/clubhouses, grass pitch improvements or better indoor/outdoor facilities) please contact development@middlesexfa.com so that we can provide advice and guidance.
Please note if you have already started work on your project (for example, building/construction has already begun), then it is unlikely that your project will be eligible for funding.
Small grants available for up to £25,000 (up to 75% of total project costs) for goalposts, portable floodlights, storage containers, fencing, pitch maintenance equipment, pitch drainage, improvement to playing surfaces and changing rooms/clubhouse refurbishments.
Funded by the Premier League, the Football Stadia Improvement Fund awards capital grants to EFL, National League and Women's Pyramid down to the lower levels of the FA National League System.
