Saturday 12 October, 2019 marks the 10th edition of Non-League Day

Connections between the Premier League and non-league football are plenty.

The Premier League funds the Football Stadia Improvement Fund, which since 2000 has helped thousands of non-league clubs get the finances to improve their grounds for fans and to help them to stay viable.

Sky Sports pundit and former Liverpool FC captain Jamie Carragher visited his local non-league club, Marine FC, to see how Premier League funding has helped them enjoy a brighter future.

FSIF funding has also played a crucial role in the young history of Scarborough Athletic, who have a new stand for their new ground thanks to Premier League funding.

Many current Premier League players, as well as a manager, started their careers at non-league clubs.

They have have shared their experiences in non-league and how it helped them to reach the top of the game.

Premier League funding, via the National League Trust, also helps clubs below the top four divisions of the English football pyramid engage with their local communities.

We looked at three clubs building ties in their local areas thanks to our funding.
