VICTA Travel Offer to attend the FA England Talent Days

VICTA is offering travel support to St. George’s Park National Football Centre for a Para Football Open Trials Day.

VICTA Sport is once again supporting the FA Talent Days at the home of English football, St George’s Park, where all England senior teams train. These Talent Days take place on Saturday 16 November 2024 and Wednesday 16 April 2025 and are open to both partially sighted and blind footballers – the FA will have specific B1 provision at this event.

FA England Talent Days are utilised as a player’s first engagement with the Para Football Pathway and as the first selective environment in the player pathway.

The programme will identify and signpost players to the ‘right’ environment at that point in time and seeks to feed the subsequent Regional and National levels of the pathway.

The Para Football player pathway runs alongside any football that players already participate in, so does not compromise or replace any current involvement in the game.

The players registration link is: https://forms.office.com/e/CHZ2P98CkK

N.B You must register with this link to confirm attendance at the event. The VICTA travel offer is a separate application form and is not to be used as the event registration form.

Any further questions about the event itself can be directed to Liam Drake liam.drake@thefa.com
Any questions about the travel offer can be sent to sports@victa.org.uk
