Unifying South West Football
Football in the South West region has experienced significant growth, with a 29% increase in registered players and a 17% rise in female participation from 2020 to 2024. While the current governance structure has managed this growth, it is becoming increasingly critical to assess the sustainability of the existing model. Operational inefficiencies, volunteer burnout, and inconsistent competition management underscore the need for a more unified and streamlined approach. Revisiting and strengthening the governance structure will not only address these challenges but also position the South West as a key player in the future of football, ensuring the region is well-equipped for continued growth and success.
