The FA's National League System stadium accreditation documents

The FA, through its Stadium Accreditation Committee, manages the Stadium Accreditation process in partnership with the Football Foundation.

This page contains the relevant documents covering the Stadium Accreditation requirements at each 'Step' of the National League System/each ‘Tier’ of the Women's Football Pyramid, in order to assist clubs in understanding the progression of facility requirements for entry into, and promotion to, the top of each of the two pyramids.
