The 2016 Community Awards, presented by McDonald’s and in association with the four home nation football associations, are now open for nominations.

The awards recognise grassroots football clubs and volunteers who dedicate countless hours to grassroots football  throughout the country. 

Former Arsenal and England defender, Martin Keown is urging local communities to nominate their heroes who make a real difference to grassroots football; whether you wash the kit, paint the lines or make the half-time tea, everyone is eligible for an award.
