From setting up football teams aged just 14, you’ll struggle to find a more passionate lover of the game than Neil Cassar, who became the youngest county FA CEO when he took the role with the Hampshire FA in 2006.

The scale and growth of the organisation, with its nation-leading facilities and touchpoints with local stakeholders, is in large part due to Neil’s ability to keep community and sustainability at the heart of everything they do.

With his innovative mindset, this episode of Making The Podium is a masterclass for any sport on thinking outside the box and bringing sporting bodies closer to the community with whom they engage.

This episode covers:

• The expansion of Hampshire FA’s hubs as some of the country’s leading facilities
• Neil’s route to becoming the youngest CEO of a county FA
• Thinking outside the box in creating unique initiatives to help engage the community
• How FAs around the country are responding to the recent decline in touchline behaviour from parents in the youth game
