Return to Football - Festival advice

We have received a variety of questions regarding grassroots football festivals, many of which are seeking to be sanctioned by the County FA. To support in this process we would suggest you consider the following key principles that festival should follow:

  *   Multiple pitches in use
  *   Respect barriers should be in place
  *   Limited to multiple groups of 6 watching together
  *   NHS Test and Trace in place
  *   A detailed risk assessment MUST be in place by the festival host which takes into account The FA guidance and local situations
  *   Designated Covid-19 Officer i/c the event
  *   Pre-Covid checks carried out by individual

These principles should be followed alongside the wider FA Guidance.
