Future Academy Leaders Programme - 26/27 applications open!

The Premier League is pleased to welcome applications for the fourth season of the Future Academy Leaders Programme (FAL).

The purpose of FAL is to support Premier League and EFL Clubs with succession planning and diversity in Academy leadership, through a programme that develops a diverse group of individuals and prepares them for leadership positions within the Academy system.

FAL welcomes applications from individuals with the desire and potential to progress to an Academy Leadership role in the future. Applicants can be in any role, from any organisation, and are not required to be employed within a Club or Academy, but they must have clear aspirations to be in an Academy Leadership role in the future. As a key outcome of this programme is to support and promote diversity within the leadership of the Academy system, the Premier League will specifically seek and welcome applications from a wide range of underrepresented groups.

For more information about the programme, and how to apply, please visit the link below. The deadline for applications is 27 February 2026.
