128 grassroots sports facilities around the country are set to benefit from grants totalling £28.3m from thePremier League & The FA Facilities Fund.

The Football Foundation delivered the grants between January and June 2016 on behalf of the  partners: the Premier League, The FA and the Government/Sport England.

Grants awarded from the Fund by the Foundation primarily go towards the development of new or refurbished floodlit third generation artificial grass pitches (AGPs), changing room pavilions and natural grass pitches in the areas of the country that need them most.

The Premier League & The FA Facilities Fund also provides smaller grants for smaller scale improvements, such as replacing unsafe goalposts and purchasing pitch maintenance equipment.
