West Riding FA

Call Directions Website

West Riding FA The West Riding County Football Association is the governing body of football in the county.

We are one of the largest county football associations in the country and oversee all aspects of the game in our territory. We are responsible for providing the structure and support that enables our players, coaches, volunteers and referees to develop. Our utmost priority is that every participant in our county is given the opportunity to develop in a progressive and enjoyable environment. In addition to our governance responsibilities, we concentrate heavily on the development of the local game and maintain a strong emphasis on the evolution of players, coaches, volunteers and referees. By promoting “Football for all” we encourage participation across all sections of society, regardless of age, ability, race, religion or socio-economic status. By developing innovative programmes and cultivating opportunities in alignment with our governing body (The FA), we deliver the national game strategy in our county. We are aslo immensely proud of our thriving culture throughout the non-professional game, a sector widely referred to as “Grassroots” football. As a county we believe it essential to uphold our traditions and embrace the legacy of our past. However, we are very much a progressive County FA who are happy to celebrate our history without residing on it. Although the West Riding County Football Association has been the governing body of all association football in the County for over 100 years, today we are an energetic, innovative and ever changing organisation. We remain as passionate as ever about the success of football in the county.

What a morning at Middleton Park FC for Play Safe Weekend…⚽️

It was fantastic to see the Play Safe message in action last weekend, with Ella and Gemma from the team being welcomed by Micki, Chair, and Darren, who runs facilities. We were also joined by Claire from Garforth League while carrying out visits.

Middleton Park were fantastic hosts, and it was especially lovely to chat with parents across the different age groups and hear such positive feedback about the club and their experiences. 👏

It was a busy morning, with 7 games observed from U9s through to U16s, involving:

⚽ Middleton Park FC
⚽ Sherburn White Rose
⚽ Morley Glen
⚽ Yorkshire Amateurs
⚽ Ossett United
⚽ Horsforth St Margaret’s
⚽ Stanningley

A brilliant display from players, coaches and parents, with the Play Safe message front and centre throughout.

A huge thank you to for making us so welcome, and to everyone involved for making it such a positive Play Safe Weekend! 👏
