REGISTER OF ENGLISH FOOTBALL FACILITIES (REFF)

REFF the Register of English Football Facilities is a project funded by the Football Foundation with the backing of our funding partners; The FA Premier League, The FA, Sport England and the DCMS.

The Football Foundation has created an extensive database of over 21,000 football sites in England, detailing ownership and the facilities available. The survey will allow the Foundation to identify hotspots where facilities are in need of improvement.

REFF will also assist in the development of local facilities strategies, enabling the Football Foundation to proactively target funding towards these areas.

"This is a project by football for football. It is the biggest thing to happen to the grass roots of the game since the creation of the Foundation. The REFF Project underlines the commitment of the football family to put something back into the game."

Garth Crooks, Chair of the Foundation's Grass Roots Committee
