Company Governance Information

Established in 1888, Devon County FA has been making a significant contribution to the community for over 134 years. With the vision to ‘to enhance lives through football in Devon’, Devon County FA has grown to now support over 1,900 grassroots football teams, which is in excess of 32,000 participants, across the county.

Our Role – Unite and serve Devon football to provide an inclusive and enjoyable experience for all.

Football is at the heart of communities and through our strategy, we would like to empower our clubs to be in the centre of their local community.

We have consulted with various stakeholders across the Devon football family to support the development of the strategy. The consultation ensured that all key stakeholders had the opportunity to provide valuable and impactful feedback.

We have identified 6 key priorities:

Ensure Devon FA is safe, inclusive & diverse

Develop a sustainable and financially secure County FA to support football in Devon

Restart football following the pandemic, sustain and increase participation for all formats

Retain, enhance and develop new facilities in Devon

Increase and develop the workforce supporting Devon football

Improve the image of Devon FA and it’s impact and support for all football in Devon

We are committed to supporting and developing people’s physical & mental health, engaging with communities, and investing in grassroots football in Devon. We want to give everyone the opportunity to play, volunteer and be part of the game we all love.

Everybody involved in football in Devon, regardless of their role, will be fundamental in helping us achieve our goal of a successful strategy. Let’s work together to make it become reality.
