    The Northern Ireland Football Fund (TNIFF) – Grassroots Facilities Programme (Pilot) will address both the deficit in grassroots football facilities and the need to refurbish existing facilities and pitches used by teams not competing in either the Northern Ireland Football League or League of Ireland.

    It will focus on supporting participation at grassroots level and will benefit not only the individuals associated with the team but also the local communities. As a pilot initiative, the Grassroots Facilities Programme (Pilot) will generate learning and insight to inform the future design, targeting and delivery of a future mainstream Grassroots Facilities programme.

    Existing/Revised/New: New
    Date of Screening: 04/03/2026
    Screening Outcome - Full EQIA recommended: No
