The Football Foundation has delivered thousands of grassroots football pitches and facilities since 2000, thanks to funding from the Premier League, The FA and Government.
Together with local partner contributions, more than £2.6 billion has been invested in grassroots football.
More than 74,000 grants have been provided to develop projects including 1,200 3G grass pitches and 13,700 grass pitch improvements, as well as 1,500 changing pavilions.
Over 87,000 FA Affiliated Teams played at Football Foundation-funded sites in the 2023/24 season, including over 12,500 women’s and girls’ teams and over 1,500 disability teams.
In 2024, the Bobby Moore Sports Hub in Parsloes Park, Dagenham, opened after a £6.2 million grant from the Football Foundation – the highest single grant awarded by the charity. This multi-million-pound facility features 16 grass sports pitches and three 3G pitches, one of which includes seating and is used by non-league club May & Baker.
