JD Cymru Premier clubs will hold strategy launch events over the next month to showcase their vision and philosophy as Welsh domestic football moves into an exciting new era.
Over the past year, every current JD Cymru Premier club has worked with the FAW to develop a five-year strategic plan aligned to the FAW’s eight strategic pillars – making Wales the first nation in Europe where every top-flight club has a formal, long-term strategy connected directly to its national association.
Second tier clubs Aberystwyth Town and Newtown have also developed five-year plans, having started the club strategy process while playing in the JD Cymru Premier last season. This work helps set the foundation for JD Cymru North and JD Cymru South clubs, who will soon start their process of developing lighter-touch two-to-three-year plans as part of their pathway towards Tier 1.
These club strategies move beyond football performance, setting out each club’s long-term vision for growth, sustainability, infrastructure and impact. They are a statement of intent that Welsh football is modernising while staying true to its identity, combining authenticity, ambition and investable potential in equal measure.
To bring the plans to life, each club has produced a public-facing brochure, a concise snapshot of its journey so far, current position and ambitions for the future.
Designed for a broad audience, from local schools and councils to national sponsors and potential international investors, these brochures show that JD Cymru Premier clubs are not only rooted in their communities but are also looking outward, ready to attract new partners, investment and interest in Welsh football.
The following launch events will be held to reveal these brochures, with clubs engaging with their local communities by inviting politicians, businesses, media and current/potential sponsors – providing an opportunity to network and build interest in their respective strategies.
Should you wish to attend any of these events, please look out for information on club websites and social media platforms or contact them directly.
