Our ambition is to create opportunities for individual players while strengthening the environments where future generations develop. Financial support never creates ownership of a player, representation rights, transfer rights or control over selection and football decisions.
Receiving funds is only the start. For each significant programme or project, NEXTGEN links the funding to a defined purpose, an approved budget, supporting evidence and regular review.
When funding is accepted for a specific approved programme or project, it is tracked and used for that purpose rather than moved elsewhere for convenience.
Significant programmes should record what was spent, what was delivered, what changed and what should improve next time. Sensitive player or child information is never published simply to demonstrate impact.
Larger NEXTGEN community projects follow a responsible process before and after funds are deployed.
For projects such as schools or football pitches, NEXTGEN also considers land and site rights, local permissions, construction quality, long term maintenance and community access.
Before you support NEXTGEN, you can explore real player journeys, how NEXTGEN operates and the standards designed to protect players.
