BRITAIN'S largest sports charity has got together with the New Opportunities Fund to provide a £30 million investment package for schools.
The Football Foundation particularly wants to tackle poor facilities in schools in disadvantaged areas. The scheme will be open to more than 20,000 primary and secondary schools all over the country.
Foundation chief executive Peter Lee said: "Children deserve the opportunity to expand their potential -- not necessarily to be the best, but simply to enjoy our nation's favourite game.
"This welcome funding package will go a long way to ensuring the next generation of footballers have access to some of the most modern facilities the game has to offer."
