The FA’s National Football Centre at St. George’s Park officially opens today.

The project may have cost over £100m and be opening later than originally hoped, but we have to admit that the facilities look fantastic. The new National Football Centre offers 12 full size pitches with a variety of surfaces, an altitude chamber, training gyms, coaching suites and more.

The centre will be used as the base for all of the FA’s development work and preparation of the England teams. Using a combination of the latest football equipment, modern sports science and medicine, coaching techniques and education, the Football Association will undoubtedly be using the centre as a key driver for the standard of football throughout all levels of the game.

One of the crucial pieces of football equipment that we couldn’t help but notice were the Harrod UK manufactured football goals on some of the new pitches.

The good news is that even grass roots/amateur football clubs or schools can enjoy the same standard and quality of football equipment as the professionals – and you don’t have to spend anywhere close to £100m.

At Sports Equip, we’re proud to offer Harrod UK’s full range of football goals, nets and pitch equipment. For more information on any of our Harrod UK products or football equipment, please contact us.
