Leaders in the pursuit of excellence – on and off the pitch - partnering with our members and stakeholders to promote, develop and care for football in Wales and beyond.
One of the three oldest associations in the world, the FAW was established in 1876 to nurture, lead and promote the interest of football in Wales.
As a member of FIFA and UEFA, we’re committed to fostering the game in light of fair play on a global basis, and we’re active guardians of the ‘Laws of the Game’ along with another four bodies through IFAB.
Our mission is to make sure that football creates positive, inclusive experiences enjoyed locally and nationally, and promote the sport in Wales by highlighting its benefits for everyone, everywhere.
We recognise a need for constant development and improvement, and Welsh football must not sit at the side-lines. By listening and working with our football family members and stakeholders, we strive to provide an inclusive and accessible offer that creates opportunities for all at every level of the game.
By harnessing the power of football and all it has to offer, we’ll make a difference for every member, stakeholder, supporter, and community throughout Wales and beyond.
“We call them the Red Wall. When we see their passion in the stadium, thousands, all in red, our colour, they inspire us. We want to make them proud.”
