About the Amateur FA 

The Amateur FA is a County Football Association, affiliated to the Football Association.

Whilst the majority of our clubs are in London and the Home Counties, we have member clubs throughout England. The Amateur FA is unusual among County FA's, as it is not based around a particular geographical area.
