An opportunity has arisen at Swindon Town Football Club’s Academy to offer host accommodation to the Club's young footballers (16-18 year old) for the 2023/24 season. We rely on our network of excellent host families to help us care for our academy players during the season, providing young players with a safe and comfortable ‘home from home’.

We are looking for additional families within the area to add to our host family network. This is an opportunity for you to make a difference and work with the Academy. As part of the STFC family, you will have access to match tickets for first-team and youth cup fixtures, along with other events that are hosted at the County Ground.

From time to time some apprenticeship players need to stay with host families allowing them to follow their dream of becoming a professional footballer. Host families are crucial in assisting young players on that journey, as they need to stay with host families to take the opportunity of full-time employment at the Football Club.

We are looking for local households interested in hosting academy players living away from home. So whether it’s just a few days or a full season, please get in touch if you can accommodate one of our young players; we would love to hear from you.

Accommodation will generally be required from a Sunday evening until Saturday morning during the football season, with a break over Christmas and from the middle of May - throughout June. Some players might require 7-night accommodation, so please let us know if that is something you can offer.
