It is a particularly exciting time for all levels of football in Wales, as the growth of the game continues year on year. The Senior National sides continue to inspire new generations of football fans and members of The Red Wall, as they capture the hearts of the nation throughout their qualifying campaigns. 

The game is also growing at grassroots level. More people are taking up the all-important coaching and refereeing roles across the game and domestically, the Welsh Premier Women’s League and the Welsh Premier League are at their most competitive.

The FAW Council members are representatives of FAW Member Clubs, Leagues and Area Associations with active involvement and an ensured focussed attention on the leadership of the game. The term for FAW Council members will increase this year from 3 to 4 years in-line with UEFA and FIFA. The Quadrennial Period for the new council of the FAW will cover the 1st of August 2019 to the 31st of July 2023.
