2025-26 Club Accreditation

England Football Accreditation

Clubs can be awarded 1, 2, or 3 stars, depending on the breadth and quality of their football provision:

• 1 Star: Core standards met (e.g. safeguarding, qualified coaches, governance).
• 2 Stars: Broader offer (e.g. multiple age groups, male/female teams).
• 3 Stars: Comprehensive offer including pathways, disability football, and community impact.

Why It Matters

Accredited clubs and leagues are seen as leaders in grassroots football. They:

• Attract more players and volunteers.
• Gain access to funding and support.
• Build stronger community connections.
