FutureFit: Digital Conference for Clubs 

During the 2025/26 season The FA will be hosting a series of FutureFit: Digital Conferences aimed at supporting the grassroots network ahead of the implementation of changes to youth football in 2026/27. 
 
From Monday 16th to Wednesday 18th March 2026, The FA will be hosting a series of evening workshops covering a variety of themes relevant to Club Officials. This conference is about supporting you and your club on the journey towards the 2026/27 changes and ensuring you have all the necessary information to be able to plan for success.

Start the Conversation - Understanding & Empowering Neurodiversity in Sport 

As a League Official with responsibilities in grassroots football, you’ll know well how hate at matches can ruin the experience for others. Too often: 
 
Your league’s clubs’ reputations can be damaged by poor behaviour at matches. 
Referees’ ability to officiate in safety can be compromised. 
Spectators abuse referees, players, coaches and other spectators. 
 
We’re asking you and everyone in grassroots football – including players, spectators and coaches – to report racist, sexist, homophobic, violent and abusive behaviour to us every time it happens. 
 
Only when we know it’s happened can we take the tough action needed to remove hate, with sanctions that include: 
 
Deducting points 
Banning players 
Even closing grounds 
Reporting is working. Last season, The FA handed out 5,510 match bans for discrimination, bans of 55,075 for abusing referees, and charged offenders on 63% of reports. This season, we’ll continue to do everything we can to remove hate and protect the game.
