VICTA Travel Offer to attend the FA England Talent Days

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. This is 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.

Please note – you will need to register your attendance for this event with the FA directly via this registration form: https://forms.office.com/e/RqFfguz20V

You will then need to apply for our travel support separately using the application form below.
