About St George’s Park – formerly known as National Football Centre
The project will cost approximately £100million and between 2001 and January 2010 The FA had spent £25m on the project. The 350-acre (1.4 km2) site was purchased by The FA for £2 million in 2001 following FA technical director Howard Wilkinson’s preparations for the Centre. The project’s Chairman David Sheepshanks said: “Our aim is to make St George’s Park a sporting destination of choice for coaches, players, administrators and officials alike. In Wembley we have a world-class stadium and in St George’s Park we have the place to inspire world-class performance.”
Once completed, St. George’s Park is intended to be the training base for all England teams – from the U16s to the senior side – and act as the focal point for the FA’s coaching and player development work. The centre will also boast a “state-of-the-art” indoor pitch, offices for the FA’s technical experts, accommodation for 300 and sports science and medicine facilities, as well as 12 world-class training pitches, both grass and artificial surfaces. Completion is anticipated for the Summer of 2012.
