## THE ARMY FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION
## **Principal Activities and Objectives**
The principal objectives of the charity are to provide and organise facilities of the Army to encourage participation in the sport of football by active and former personnel, including the Army Reserves. It is considered that this will in turn contribute to the morale and fitness of the Army as a whole. The financial results for the period are set out in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 6 of these financial statements.
The Football Development Centre, which was built in year ending 30 June 2014, continues to act as an approved centre to deliver Coach Education, and is registered with the Governing Body (The FA) for this purpose. It also provides office space for three personnel and is used as a conference/meeting facility. The Association has continued to support football through the Army, including the Army Reserve.
## **Public Benefit**
The objectives of the charity are for the benefit of the Army and hence for the benefit of the wider public and the Trustees have therefore complied with the duty in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission guidance published in this respect.
## **Reserves Level Policy**
The Trustees having considered a number of issues and feel the aim of the charity is to have sufficient reserves excluding those represented by fixed assets, to cover the normal operation costs for one to two years. The Trustees have designated certain funds to provide for the replacement or refurbishment of the Football Development Centre at the end of its useful life.
## **Risk Management**
The Board reviews regularly the risks associated with the operations currently being carried out and feel the systems in place are operating successfully at present.
## **Directors’ (Trustees’) Responsibilities**
Company law requires the Trustees as directors to prepare financial statements as ‘Companies Act’ accounts for each financial year to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of its income surplus/deficit for the period. In preparing the financial statements the directors are required to:
- To select the most suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
- Make judgements and estimates that they consider reasonable and prudent
- Disclose and explain any departure from Companies Act accounting principles
Prepare the financial statements on a ‘going concern’ basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue to operate.
The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and also required by charity law to ensure their proper application and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
So far as the directors are aware, they have each taken steps that they ought to have taken in order to make themselves aware that the accounts reflect the correct financial position.

## **Chair Report**
## **Annual Report 2022/23**
The 2022/23 season was a busy and transitional one for the Army Football Association with plenty of activity in all guises of the game that we are pleased to have captured in our publication, The Soldiers’ Game. Army FA Soldiers Game Review 2023 (calameo.com).
During this period there was a change of Chair and Vice Chair midway through the season and changes of personnel within our Board of Trustees.
As an organisation there has been progression. We have been reviewing and continue to review many procedures both internally and externally to ensure that we can provide efficiency and accountability. This remains ongoing but is necessitated to ensure that we have a support mechanism that involves our Trustees and volunteers in all areas of the game.
From standardising procedures through to providing clear and concise policies that will be consistent, whatever decisions are made has to always be for the benefit of Army Football.
The strength of our relationship with our Governing body, the FA is important. As a County Association we must comply with the many expectations and targets set by our governing body and meet with our Regional Manager on a quarterly basis. Indeed, we have been working to a business strategy that was implemented for the 2021/24 seasons; we are now in the final season of that strategy. It is pleasing that we are above the KPI targets for registered male and female players. During 2022/23 season we had 8,965 registered male players and 921 female players serving within the Army. We also achieved in the refereeing department too with 226 registered match officials against a target of 176 and a healthy reign of recruitment, promotion, and retentions. Overall, there were 632 teams registered covering 198 clubs.
However, as we look towards the next FA Business Strategy period of 2024 to 2028 there will be plenty of work required in preparation for the new period, tougher expectations, mandatory targets, and a firm presence regarding the efficiency of governance.
We have three huge targets to focus on. By 1 July 2025 it will be mandatory for the Army Football Association to achieve the criteria set for the FA Code of Governance for County FA and become compliant. To this we are forming a Corporate Governance Project Team. The Code represents a ‘Gold Standard’ of governance, comprising 65 requirements based on Sport England and UK Sport’s Code for Sports Governance. It is a huge task but one we will be working closely with the FA to achieve. Failure to deliver will see a significant decrease in our funding provided by the FA.
After achieving the Sports Equality Standard Scheme Foundation Level Award, we are now working towards reaching the Preliminary standard; we must achieve this to the FA by the end of the 2023/24 season. To this, representatives to form an Inclusion Advisory Group (IAG) has been identified and we will be holding an inaugural meeting during the early part of the new season. Part of the process will be to connect football activity to external engagement opportunities whilst also engaging with Army Diversity Networks.
In October 2022 we had an FA “Safeguarding 365” Inspection at our Aldershot HQ and complied with the FA Regulations set. It is imperative that we ensure that all our CFA Workforce and Trustees have the correct qualifications and training relevant to their role. To achieve the above three is imperative to the future structure of our organisation.
We receive superb support and funding from the Football Association and are grateful for the close involvement that we have in so many areas.
We have seen a change of policy and rebrand within what was formerly the Army Sports Control Board and now Army Sport under the direction of the new CEO (formerly Director, Army Sports Control Board) Major General (Retd) Darrell Amison. From my perspective it is also important to emphasise the importance of our relationship within Army sport.
Similar to the Football Association the support we receive from Army Sport cannot go unmentioned. From the wonderful sponsorship opportunities through Mongoose that we have through to the SOTR (Statement of Training Requirements) offer. This is a huge opportunity to encourage as many soldiers as possible to sign up to courses

operated by the FA. Completion of the courses enables the soldier to receive a 100% funding for the courses. It is our duty to ensure that this message is widened as far as possible.
On the pitch itself despite the obvious challenges and increase of expectations within units and the Army in general we had so much excitement last season. It was a pleasure and a privilege to get out, where possible, to watch some football at all levels. From the small sided competitions, to watching the Women and Men’s corps cup finals on the same day at the excellent facilities of Cirencester Town and Sutton United respectively. From being able to view some fantastic exciting last day drama in the Women’s Corps matches at Harborough Town FC. From seeing our Men and Under 23 rep teams go so close to Inter Service success to seeing the delight on the faces in the photos of our Masters teams successes in the inaugural Major Billy Thomson Inter Services followed by gold medal in the European Masters Games. However, the highlight was undoubtedly the 2023 Army Challenge Major Units Cup Final played at our traditional Military Stadium home in Aldershot. There were some concerns at one stage as to whether the final would be played but assurances were met by both 3 Parachute Regiment and 23 Parachute Engineer Regiment that they would be in attendance despite both squads being on operational duties in Sudan. Both teams arrived, some arriving back from Sudan the day before, and offered the best Cup Final in my 16 years of being here. It was a credit to all involved.
Football is our game; it is our responsibility to provide any soldier the opportunity to play, to referee, to coach, to administer to volunteer.

## THE ARMY FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION
**Independent Examiner’s Report to the members of the Army Football Association for the year ended 30 June 2023**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the company’s accounts for the year ended 30 June 2023
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees of the company (who are also the directors of the company for the purpose of company law), you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited for this year under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination, I have followed all the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
The company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or
- • the accounts do not accord with such records; or
- the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 other than the requirements that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
- the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102)..
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
