ESFA Enterprises is a wholly owned subsidiary of the English Schools' Football Association, the National Governing Body for schools' football in England. The ESFA's purpose is the development of children through the means of Association football. You can find out more about the ESFA at schoolsfootball.org

The ESFA is a charity and has established the subsidiary company to bring new and innovative ways for children, schools and teachers to engage in schools' football. ESFA Enterprises prides itself on retaining the educational value of developing children through the lens of schools' football, and brings with it the child safety principles which are inherent in the ESFA's values. Enterprises also offers the quality that customers have come to expect from the ESFA, but in a different, exciting and commercial context.

We are now seeking to appoint a Senior Independent Director to act as Chair of ESFA Enterprises.
