The Football Association of Wales is proud to announce the upcoming FAW Football Fforwm events – a series of nationwide engagement sessions designed to shape the future of the game in Wales. These forums will play a vital role in the development of the FAW’s next strategic plan, which is set to launch in 2026.

Working in partnership with the six Area Associations, the FAW is committed to listening to the people who make Welsh football what it is, from players and coaches to volunteers, clubs, and supporters.

These events will provide an open platform to share the progress made so far, present early plans for the future, and gather input on how everyone can take the game forward together.

Shaping the next strategy

The Football Fforwm events will offer a comprehensive update on:

  • Developments and activities being delivered in each of the six Areas.
  • The FAW’s progress since the launch of its current strategy, Ein Cymru, in 2021.
  • Early plans and ambitions for the next strategic cycle, focused on ensuring Welsh football thrives at every level of the game.

Central to each event will be a dedicated feedback session, giving attendees the opportunity to share their thoughts and ideas on key topics affecting football in Wales. This will help shape a clear and collective vision for the future.

A national conversation

Throughout November, the FAW will travel across Wales in conjunction with the Area Associations to engage directly with communities involved in the game. This nationwide conversation aims to ensure that every corner of Welsh football has a say in building a strategy that works for everyone – from grassroots to the elite level.
