The Premier League, The FA and Government have all committed funds through the Football Foundation to deliver Local Football Facility Plans. 

These Local Plans are a detailed roadmap that will provide every community in the country the facilities it needs and deserves. But we can't do it alone. We're working with local authorities and partners to turn them into reality and everyone has their part to play.
