Stadium Accreditation Programme
The FA and the Premier League joined forces in 2023 to launch a new Stadium Accreditation Programme for clubs that play in the National League System (NLS) and Women's Football Pyramid (WFP).
About
What is StadiumPower?
StadiumPower is a purpose built digital tool for the Stadium Accreditation Programme. It holds the data of over 1,000 stadiums that are used in the Men's and Women's Football Pyramid.
Using StadiumPower, our Technical Team assess the compliance of your stadium against The FA's Stadium Accreditation criteria. Once the data has been collected, it's provided to The FA for their approval. Clubs are able to view their assessment reports, provide updates on works they have carried out to their stadiums, and see where they meet and don’t meet their league's requirements. The data can also be used to support clubs with their funding applications to the Premier League Stadium Fund.
In addition, each League has their own dashboard of the Clubs that play in their competitions. This ensures they know what work needs to be carried out by their clubs to ensure they meet the grading criteria by the agreed deadline. The system also allows them visibility of the stadiums that may enter their league in future seasons.
