Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what support they are giving to non-league football

The Government is committed to supporting all levels of football including non-league. We have an established partnership with the Football Association and the Premier League focused on investment into community facilities, the Government contributing £18m each year.

The three-way partnership sees a combined £70m go to new facilities delivered by the Football Foundation charity each year. The charity has coverage across the country with funding reaching 98% of all local authorities and boroughs in England.

The Government has also committed to investing £550m into grassroots football facilities, for all ages and genders, over the next 10 years to support plans to bid for the 2030 Men’s FIFA Football World Cup.
