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.

We aim to provide football opportunities For All, regardless of age, gender, ability, race, culture or background, to enjoy the spirit of amateur football, both competitively and for recreation. We also pride ourselves on the skill and competitiveness of our leagues, and on our traditions of fair play and respect for opponents and match officials.
