FA Award for hard work

On the night of Wednesday 7th October 2015 at Wembley Stadium Vallance FC was announced as the Regional FA Charter Standard Development Club Winners 2015.

They were competing with many clubs from all over the London Region that have the FA Charter Standard Development Club status. On winning this they are the first club from the London Borough of Tower Hamlets to achieve this.

Vallance FC project manager Junel Uddin was there to receive the award from Daniel Gayle of the London FA.

Vallance chairperson Shuhel Ahmed said "We are very privileged to win this and be recognised by the FA (Football Association). It is the dedication and hard of all our coaches and volunteers. When we started in 1997 with just one senior team we had a vision to provide football for everyone at Tower Hamlets from young to old. We now coach football to over 800 people a year which also includes girls and people with a disability. Over the years have trained over 400 volunteers in qualified football courses provided by the FA. Our aim is to make football fun and safe for everyone. We hope now we are a bench mark for other football clubs in Tower Hamlets to go and win this award".
