Whether you're embarking on a new build, a refurbishment, or an extension to your existing facility, your pavilion is the heart of your club. We've worked with The FA to create guidance to help club officials and building professionals design high-quality facilities that meet the modern requirements of the game.

We provide a roadmap for your project’s feasibility and development stages. It ensures your vision is not just a building, but a sustainable home for football that supports your club’s long-term aspirations - from grassroots growth to the National League Pyramid.

How this guide will support your project:

• Expert feasibility: Access to our expertise and The FA to assist you and your consultants during the early development stages.
• Funding alignment: For those looking to submit a funding application to us, this document outlines the accepted criteria and examples of good practice required for success.
• Strategic planning: Practical advice on ensuring your project meets both current needs and future ambitions, including specific considerations for clubs moving up the pyramid.
• Integrated guidance: This resource acts as a football-specific supplement to Sport England’s Clubhouse Design and Inclusive Facilities guidance, ensuring your project meets the highest industry standards for sustainability and project management.
