About London FA

Based at Wembley Stadium, the home of football, the London Football Association is responsible for governing, safeguarding, and developing football across the capital. We were established in 1882 and have an incredibly rich and proud history. More recently we have been undergoing a period of exciting transformation and modernisation through the delivery of our strategy – Harnessing the Power of Grassroots Football.

At the heart of this strategy is a vision to harness the power of football to enrich more lives in London. We are very enthusiastic about the wider benefits that football can bring to society, and we know that if we are to have any chance of delivering this vision, we must create the right environments for people to thrive.

We are looking for a conscientious and self-motivated individual, who is passionate about supporting our membership to provide and develop football opportunities for all sectors of the London community.
