Academy Football in Wales
The Football Association of Wales (FAW) and the Welsh Football Trust (WFT) have carried out a joint-consultation period to develop the Academy system for the 2010/11 season, to Grow the Game and Raise Standards in Wales.
It is the intention of the WFT to Identify, Develop & Prepare Players for International Competition and the FAW Academy programme is identified as a key element of this.
The Games programme for 2010/11 will include for the first time an introduction to Futsal. This is the only small-sided version of football that is approved by FIFA and UEFA and the game in Wales is developing. The research into the game of Futsal proves that it is tremendous for skills development, which is transferable into the eleven a-side game.
