Within Wales, there’s loads of opportunities for youth grassroots football.

The Football Association of Wales (FA Wales) is the third oldest association in the world, having come into existence in 1876. The association has governed football in Wales continually since that date.

The FAW runs a club accreditation scheme to establish a national standard for junior football clubs, across Wales.

Welsh football is governed by six area associations, North East Wales, North Wales Coast, Central Wales, West Wales, South Wales and Gwent.
