Welcome to VERCIDA website.
Skip to main contentOne of The FA’s core values is inclusion and making football For All, therefore we try and ensure all that we do is inclusive of all communities. We have recognised though that Asian communities are so under-represented in the game that this issue needs specific interventions to try and start to make an impact.
In 2015, The FA released its first Asian inclusion plan and in 2019 the second phase was launched, both named Bringing Opportunities to Communities. The current plan has five pillars, which are the key areas we are trying to influence change. They are:

The FA employ around 800 people across the country and currently, of those who voluntarily declare (around 72% of our workforce), just over 12% describe themselves as BAME (Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic) employees. Of these BAME employees, just over half are Asian (6% of the declaring population).
This compares favourably with most of the sports industry and we are continuing to strive for better ethnicity and gender representation across our organisation. More details of this can be found within our three-year equality, diversity and inclusion plan, In Pursuit of Progress.
