• Over 115,000 teams including 55,000 mini soccer and youth teams and 31,000 adult teams

We want committed, passionate individuals who share in our vision of using the power of football to build a better future. We want our talented workforce to make a difference to English football and to be seen by fans, players, managers, clubs and government as the leading sports governing body in the world.
