SWFC IS NOW ACCREDITED!!

Southend Wanderers is now officially a 1 star accredited club!

Over the past 20 years, leagues and clubs accredited by The FA have made a huge impact on football in England, transforming the way the game is played and enjoyed at the grassroots level. These clubs and leagues create the perfect environment to help players, coaches, and volunteers grow, fostering diversity and inclusivity across communities. Now, England Football Accredited takes over from The FA Charter Standard, continuing this legacy with a fresh vision to unite even more communities over the next decade by supporting grassroots clubs and leagues.

Who Is England Football Accredited For?

England Football Accredited is designed for all non-professional leagues and clubs, giving them the tools to create fantastic experiences for everyone involved—players, coaches, and volunteers alike. These clubs are built to be strong, sustainable, and future-ready.

Accredited clubs uphold high standards both on and off the pitch. The star system within accreditation highlights clubs that go above and beyond by offering more opportunities for people to get involved in the game.
