Funding for FA National League System Clubs

Funded by the Premier League, The Premier League Stadium Fund awards Capital Grants to clubs in Steps 1-6 of the National League System, Tiers 1-4 of the Women's Football Pyramid, and clubs promoted to the English Football League.

This funding covers Durham FA affiliated clubs from Step 1-6, and as a County FA, we’re keen to work with and target Clubs who have ambition to develop their facilities. Please be aware this will work best for Clubs to alert us as early on as possible to give you the best chance of obtaining funding.

Premier League Stadium Fund

There are several funding windows throughout the season, however Durham County FA advise any Clubs keen to develop their facilities to meet ground grading requirements for future seasons, to please get in contact as early in the process as possible.

The Premier League Stadium Fund is a non-charitable arm of the Football Foundation, solely investing in projects to improve the facilities at lower league football stadia around the country.

PLSF Updated

From installing new floodlights and upgrading playing surfaces to developing all-seater stands, the Premier League Stadium Fund (PLSF) invests in projects that improve the matchday experience of players, officials and spectators.
