Accrington Stanley Community Trust is delighted to announce that it will be hosting a FA Para Talent Day at Stanley Sports Hub on Thursday 28th May, from 9:00am to 3:00pm.
The event is free of charge and open to eligible participants, offering a fantastic opportunity for young players with impairments to showcase their ability and take their first steps on The FA’s Para Football Talent Pathway.
The FA Para Talent Hub programme is designed to support talented footballers aged 7–16 with specific impairments, providing a high-quality environment to develop their skills and reach their full potential. The programme acts as a key entry point into England’s Para football pathway, with opportunities for players to progress to regional and national levels.

The event is open to players with a range of eligible impairments, including cerebral palsy, visual impairments, and hearing impairments, and aims to identify and support the next generation of Para football talent in East Lancashire.
Participants attending the Talent Day will have the chance to demonstrate their skills in a structured and supportive setting, with selected players being signposted into the FA Para Talent Hub programme delivered by the Trust.
A spokesperson from Accrington Stanley Community Trust said:
