The Football Association of Wales (FAW)

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.  

The FAW is governed by a Board of Directors made up of an Independent Chair, the CEO, two Independent Non-Executives, the four Officers of the FAW and three elected Members. The FAW Board is responsible to the Shareholders of the FAW called the FAW Council. The Council is made up of elected and nominated representatives from Welsh Football. The FAW Council, with the FAW Executive, manages football related activities through a series of committees. The CEO has the responsibility to manage the business and all staff employed by the FAW.
