The Guild attains FA Charter Standard!
On December 18th the club was awarded FA Charter Standard Adult Club status. The scheme is supported by FA Community Partner McDonald's (hence the 'Golden Arches' in the logo). This is official recognition by the Football Association given to non-league clubs that have demonstrated that they are well run and sustainable. It also recognises the club's commitment to coaching, player and coach development, and the raising of standards of behaviour in the game.
The benefits of having Charter Standard status include:
- Use of the FA Charter Standard Logo
- Enhancement of funding applications and bids
- Kit and equipment grants from the Football Foundation
- Exclusive workshops
- Access to FA McDonald's coaching awards
- Starter Pack, including posters, Codes of Conduct, Certificates
This represents a major step forward in the development of Farnborough OBG FC and illustrates the ambitions of the club to develop further both on and off the field.
