 AFC GRASSROOTS CHARTER : SAMPLES OF GOOD 
PRACTICE

Introduction

The launch of the AFC Grassroots Charter has been a valuable driver in the rapid growth of grassroots football in Asia.

The Charter is an endorsement tool to support Member Associations (MAs) in their role of implementing grassroots programmes, and the results have been overwhelming, with hundreds of thousands of participants joining in grassroots events held across Asia every year.

As the number of participants continues to rise, the success of all the grassroots activities can be attributed to the AFC Grassroots Charter and to the work done by the unsung heroes behind the scenes.

Asia is a vast Continent and each MA faces different challenges, but, despite the obstacles, many have enjoyed success by following the 20 performance categories that are outlined in the Charter.

In this Grassroots Samples of Good Practice, we have compiled some of the best grassroots activities by MAs, who have already been endorsed in the AFC Grassroots Charter.

And if you plan to apply for the AFC Grassroots Charter or optimise your grassroots projects, this publication gives you samples and ideas from some of the best grassroots practices and case studies in Asia.

For MAs who are already recognised by the AFC Grassroots Charter and are looking to upgrade their membership – to silver or gold – this will be a useful reference to benchmark your MA’s initiatives against the very best.

As outlined in the AFC’s Vision and Mission, the AFC strives to confirm football as the number one sport in Asia, and grassroots football represents a pivotal component of achieving that ambition.

We hope that this publication will help your MA further enhance the grassroots movement and continue to encourage more people to be involved in football.
