Football is the Nation's Game

Football is as healthy and successful as it has ever been. The game has more spectators, participants, revenues and media interest than at any time in its history: * FA Cup Final 2004 viewed live in over 150 countries * 4 of top 5 UK TV sport broadcasts 2004 were England's matches at Euro 2004. * FAPL average match attendance 34,324 in 2002, highest in Europe * The Football League is the largest, most successful and watched 'second' league in Europe Football is the nation's game in more than the spectator sense; the scope and reach of the game across various levels of participation is considerable: * 7 million participants, plus 5 million in schools * 500,000 volunteers * 37,500 clubs, including 9,000 youth clubs * 2,000 competitions * 32,000 schools (17,000 primary) * 30,000 FA-qualified coaches * 27,000 FA-qualified referees * 45,000 pitches (21,000 facilities)
