| The English FA has reported that the number of adults playing small-sided football in England has grown from 4.4 million players in 2002 to 6 million players in 2004. This rapid growth in player numbers has meant that small-sided football is now played by more adults than the 11-a-side game and has led to its formal recognition by the English Football Association.
Powerleague believes that there are a significant number of opportunities to develop further centres in the UK where either currently none exist or in areas where the size of population can accommodate more than one commercial operator. Consequently, Powerleague believes that there is scope for up to a further 100 sites to be developed by 5-a-side football operators across the UK, and that they are well positioned to take advantage of this opportunity due to its flexible approach to centre construction, which can be adapted to suit small and large centres alike. |
