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 newly created digital tool which will be used for the Stadium Accreditation Programme. It will hold of all ground grading data centrally for Clubs and Leagues.
Using StadiumPower, our teams of Assessors will use StadiumPower to assess your stadium. Once the data has been collected, clubs will be able to view their latest assessment reports, provide updates on works they have carried out to their stadiums, and see where they meet and don’t meet the ground grading criteria. The data collected can then be used to support clubs with their funding applications to the Premier League Stadium Fund.
Meanwhile, each League and County FA will have 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 meet the grading criteria by the deadline, as well as help with looking forward to see the stadiums that could be entering the league the following season.
