Football Foundation Grant limits
If you’re seeking a grant to purchase five or more sets of goalposts for a site, your application will be referred to our Delivery Manager so that they can get in touch to discuss your application in more detail.
The maximum grant you can apply for will depend on the size of goalposts you are purchasing:
2.44m x 7.32m (Adult 11 v 11) – a maximum grant amount of £1,200 per set of goalposts (or 75% grant up to the maximum grant value) based on a typical average purchase price of £1,600 including carriage, but excluding VAT.
2.13m x 6.40m (Youth 11 v 11) – a maximum grant amount of £1,200 per set of goalposts (or 75% grant up to the maximum grant value) based on a typical average purchase price of £1,600 including carriage, but excluding VAT.
2.13m x 4.88m (9 v 9) – a maximum grant amount of £900 per set of goalposts (or 75% grant up to the maximum grant value) based on a typical average purchase price of £1,200 including carriage, but excluding VAT.
1.83m x 3.66m (7 v 7 / 5 v 5) – a maximum grant amount of £900 per set of goalposts (or 75% grant up to the maximum grant value) based on a recommended purchase price of £1,200 including carriage, but excluding VAT.
2m x 3m (Futsal) – a maximum grant amount of £600 per set of goalposts (or 75% grant up to the maximum grant value) based on a recommended purchase price of £800 including carriage, but excluding VAT.
If you’re not able to reclaim the VAT, this should be included in your total project cost. The grant amount will be adjusted accordingly. For example:
A club needs a new set (this is one pair of goalposts) of 11 v 11 goalposts and sees some online that are priced at £1,920 including VAT. The club enters this price on the application form and applies to the Foundation for a grant of £1,440 as 75% of the total project cost. The club contributes £480 (25%).
You will find our prices are competitive and affordable. We offer a longer warranty than other suppliers due to the quality of the engineering.
