FAW Academi 2027/28

Expressions of Interest Now Open for Players, Parents and Coaches

Caerau Ely FC are delighted to announce our intention to establish an FAW Academi programme for the 2027/28 season, marking an exciting potential new chapter in the club’s continued development.

As part of our long-term commitment to developing young footballers and strengthening opportunities within our local community, the club is now inviting expressions of interest from players, parents and coaches who would like to become part of our proposed Academi programme.

The introduction of an FAW Academi would represent another significant step forward for Caerau Ely FC, building upon the club’s recent progress both on and off the pitch.

With the recent development of our new UEFA-standard 3G facility at Cwrt Yr Ala Road, alongside our existing football development pathways, the club is committed to creating an environment where young players can develop, progress and achieve their potential.

Building a Pathway for the Future

Our ambition is to establish a structured, high-quality football development programme that provides young players with access to excellent coaching, modern facilities and a clear pathway through youth football and into senior football.

The proposed Academi would form an important part of the club’s wider vision to develop local talent, strengthen community engagement and provide opportunities for the next generation of footballers.

We are particularly passionate about creating opportunities for young players from Caerau, Ely and the wider Cardiff community to develop within a supportive and ambitious football environment.
