Founded in 1877, The Staffordshire Football Association is the guardian of our national game in the County. Responsible for efficiently governing and developing the local game, the Staffordshire FA strives to positively influence participation for all in football regardless of age, ability, sex, sexual orientation, race, religion and socioeconomic status. Our aim is to make a positive difference within football, giving everyone the opportunity to access quality football opportunities and experience to fulfil their potential. We are keen to develop partnerships in order to promote the benefits of football and improve the facilities where football is played. With over 2,000 teams and over 30,000 participants and volunteers, the Staffordshire FA is responsible for providing the support structure that enables players, volunteers, coaches and referees to develop individually or as part of a club or league and most importantly, participating in a safe and enjoyable environment. We are a progressive County FA who celebrate our history and traditions but we do not dwell on them. We are a dynamic, fast moving and evolving organisation which is passionate about our sport and its long term success.
