The Cymru Football Foundation’s Fit-For-Future Equipment Fund is now open for football clubs across the country. <\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Equipment Fund will provide 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’ve 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 Pitch Advisory Service Wales<\/a><\/strong> – in partnership with the Grounds Management Association – has already supported a plethora of clubs with advice and guidance from the GMA’s 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<\/strong><\/a> as part of the Pitch Advisory Service Wales programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Equipment Fund Guidance<\/strong><\/a> is also available to support with your application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
