Strategy 2024-28
In October 2024, the Jersey Football Association launched its new four-year Business Strategy (2024-28), outlining a bold and ambitious vision for the future of football in the island.
The strategy is focused on growing the game and improving the experience for participants, with five core areas:
- Improving playing choice and opportunities
- Delivering equal opportunities for women and girls to play
- Building more, and improving existing, facilities
- Tackling poor behaviour in the game
- Developing a valued network of volunteers, coaches and referees
At the heart of the strategy is a major commitment to women’s and girls’ football, with the aim of ensuring 75% of clubs have a women’s or girls’ team by 2028. This significant increase reflects the Association’s focus on growing participation and ensuring football is accessible and inclusive.
There are also plans to further strengthen support for local football development, improve the availability of training facilities, and reduce the number of matches postponed in bad weather, with the requirement for two new 3G artificial pitches by 2028.
The strategy also highlights the JFA’s dedication to enhancing community wellbeing. By 2028, the Association aims to become the leading charity in the island for reducing social isolation, using football as a powerful tool to foster connection, and to support vulnerable islanders.
