Structure of the Sport
Football is governed nationally by the English Football Association. The FA National Game Strategy 2008-12 sets out The FA's vision for developing grass roots football across England, with The Kent County Football Association (KCFA) playing an integral role. The responsibility for administering the game at local level is shared by 43 County Associations together with the Services and Amateur Associations.
The KCFA aims to establish safe and structured football opportunities for the benefit of all concerned irrespective of age, colour, gender and disability. The KCFA aim to provide the appropriate structures and systems to enable the association to control, manage, regulate and promote the game within the County.
We also have a Kent Schools' Association which oversees all school competition.
