FAW Trust Girls' Player Pathway

In 2021 the FAW Trust Girls' Player Pathway was subject to some exciting changes to give our nation's most talented female players more opportunity to develop their skills. 

Our eight Development Centres were created, across Wales, to give talented girls in grassroots football the opportunity to develop near their home. 

Then, sitting above that, is our FAW Trust Girls' Academy, giving the best players from the development centres, in north and south Wales, a pathway to progress to. 

Then the best players from the FAW Trust Girls' Academy join girls playing in professional club academies to form the national U15 squad. 

We have national womens' teams at U17 and U19 level, which ultimately feed into the womens' national team.
