The Cymru Football Foundation has opened our latest Fit-For-Future Facilities programme project with Llanfairfechan Town Council and Llanfairfechan Town FC – thanks to funding from UK Government.
Opened on Friday 9th August, the CFF – with support from UK Government – were able to support a significant upgrade of the playing surface and creation of a multi-use games area (MUGA) through a grant of just over £90,000, coupled with club’s fundraising efforts.
The facility was previously an un-used pair of concrete tennis courts, unsafe for use by the local community due to their poor condition.
Thanks to this investment, Llanfairfechan Town FC’s female and junior provisions will now be able to train consistently, whatever the weather and re-invest the funds they were previously spending on alternative locations to become a stronger, more sustainable community-focused club – a key priority for the CFF.
The incorporation of the MUGA will also provide a space for members of the local community to stay active, with the facility able to also accommodate for tennis, badminton and pickleball.
“We’re thrilled to have such an amazing facility that benefits not only football and tennis but also the wider community. Llanfairfechan Town Council would like to thank the funders and the partner community organisations for all their contributions to this project – it shows what we can achieve through positive working relationships.”
– Mayor Cllr Allun Rhys Jones
“The Cymru Football Foundation is committed to investing in fit-for-future facilities across Wales and this investment in Llanfairfechan will be a huge asset to the club and wider community. A huge thank you to UK Government alongside out other partners and funders for their continued support in improving football facilities in Wales on and off the pitch.”
– Aled Lewis, Director at Cymru Football Foundation
The CFF supports the development of football through investment and guidance as it delivers the FAW’s commitment to develop inspirational fit-for-future football facilities that will improve and grow Welsh football both on and off the pitch.
Since October 2022, the CFF has invested over £17 million into supporting fit-for-future facilities across the country.
