The Cymru Football Foundation\u2019s Fit-For-Future Equipment Fund is now open for grassroots football clubs across the country.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Equipment Fund provides grants of up to \u00a325,000 for successful applicants for grounds maintenance equipment and storage containers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the CFF was launched in October 2022, we\u2019ve already invested almost \u00a32.5million into supporting football clubs across Cymru with equipment to make them stronger and more sustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fund forms part of our ongoing commitment to developing high-quality football facilities that benefit communities across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0Pitch Advisory Service Wales<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 in partnership with the Grounds Management Association \u2013 has already supported a plethora of clubs with advice and guidance from the GMA\u2019s Regional Pitch Advisors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any applications submitted including grounds maintenance equipment will only be considered if your pitch has received an assessment as part of the Pitch Advisory Service Wales programme.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Equipment Fund Guidance<\/strong><\/a> is also available to support with your application – the fund will close on Friday 30th October at 8pm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
