Hold the FAW accountable for their continuous lack of support to help develop grassroot football clubs like ours.

Our grassroots community club, FC Cwmaman, has been excluded from applying for the Men's Tier 3 Club Licence for the 24/25 season due to an issue, that unknowingly occurred with our online application. Our club has tirelessly raised over £55,000 in the last two years to improve our facilities and meet the FAW Tier 3 criteria. This is a testament to our volunteers, community and everyone who has supported us with the project!

The Football Association of Wales (FAW) has decided not to give us an opportunity to rectify this issue despite there being ample time left in the licencing process. This decision is not only detrimental to our club plans but also disheartening for all those who have worked hard and supported us towards achieving this goal.

We believe that every club should be supported and given fair opportunities regardless of their size, reputation, or resources. The exclusion of FC Cwmaman sets a worrying precedent that could potentially have a detrimental effect on our future and also discourage other grassroots clubs from striving towards higher standards.

We urge the FAW to reconsider their decision and allow us an opportunity to rectify this issue and be allowed to apply for the Tier 3 Club Licence for the 24/25 season. By signing this petition, you are supporting fairness in grassroots football administration and giving hope back to community clubs like ours who's volunteers are working tirelessly towards bettering football in their local area. Hold the FAW accountable for their continuous lack of support to help develop grassroot football clubs like ours. Please sign this petition today!
