The Herefordshire FA are committed to developing and administering the game at all levels within the county. In line with The Football Association's Whole Sport Plan, the County FA has produced a four-year plan aimed at providing everyone with the opportunity to participate in football for life.
They are keen to develop partnerships to promote the benefits of football and improve the facilities where football is played. Working with key partners we hope to access essential funding which can be invested to increase the quantity and quality of pitches and facilities providing more and better playing opportunities.{{cite web|url=http://www.herefordshirefa.com/AboutUs/ |title=Herefordshire County FA – About Us |work=Herefordshire County FA |accessdate=2011-06-01 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110711163814/http://www.herefordshirefa.com/AboutUs/ |archivedate=2011-07-11 }}
