FAW MATCHDAY SUPPORT GRANT

The FAW recently announced a dedicated Matchday Support Grant to protect the future of the domestic game.
The funding is available as a result of the FIFA COVID-19 Relief Plan, which distributed a solidarity grant of $1m (circa £750K) to all FIFA member associations, to alleviate the financial impact of the pandemic.
The FAW Matchday Support Grant is providing funds to eligible FAW and Area Association affiliated clubs across Tiers 1-4 of the Men’s pyramid and Tiers 1-2 of the Women’s pyramid. All eligible clubs have been contacted and applications to access the funding are currently being submitted.
The purpose of the FAW Matchday Support Grant is:
• To support clubs fixed costs.
• To allow clubs to ensure that they retain their facilities by not defaulting on lease payments.
• To make the changes necessary to satisfy the latest FAW and Government guidance.
• To ensure their stadia are safer for the return of football and supporters.
• To supplement income due to playing behind closed doors.
Eligible clubs have until Monday, 2 November to submit their application in order to access the grant.
