additional quote from f.a.

“As a not-for-profit organisation The FA continues to maintain investments of a £1m-a-week back into grassroots football alone and we believe this continued commitment – which in the last year has seen growth of 1,300 new youth teams formed and playing football – will enable us to transition more young players into adult football over the next four years.

“We will of course continue to work with Sport England to understand the latest participation trends, in particular the desire for more informal and less regular formats in which to play the game.

"As the governing body it is our job to respond to these changes and to invest in programmes which meet our participants’ needs. We would obviously welcome Sport England’s continued support in this.”

The FA runs a number of initiatives to encourage participation in football at all levels across the game, including Mars Just Play, Vauxhall Football Mash-Up and the successful Tesco Skills programme.
