"Fun Football" is the term given to informal organised football activity with the emphasis on a ‘turn up and play’ and ‘skill development through creative football practice’. Fun Football is a joint initiative between the FAW, the Welsh Football Trust and national team sponsor, Vauxhall, aimed at the development and growth of community football throughout Wales. The term "fun football" is recognised by UEFA (The European Governing body of football) and is endorsed as a grass roots development initiative.    

Vauxhall are committed to supporting football from the grassroots through to the National senior team and believe that it is vitally important for the future of the game in Wales that we support the young talent with such opportunities.

Background

The Vauxhall Fun Football programme was introduced to provide local authorities, clubs and private organisations with a benchmark scheme for the delivery of curricular and extracurricular activities within the boundaries of each local authority.

The main aim of the programme is to ensure that clubs and private organisations deliver a quality assured football programme to junior players.
