We’ve won our appeals! Full house for North Wales

Nappy news for North Wales football!

Five of our clubs have achieved successful appeals against the FAW’s initial decision to refuse them Tier 2 licences.

Flint Mountain, Prestatyn Town and St Asaph City won their appeals and have been granted an FAW Men’s Tier 2 Club Licence for the 2025/2026 season.

CPDM Bangor and Berriew also got the thumbs up and now possess an FAW Women’s Tier 2 Club Licence for next season. Berriew are based in Powys, but play in the North Wales women’s football pyramid.

The FAW men’s & women’s Tier 2 Appeals Body met today to consider the appeals as a result of the First Instance Body decisions for Tier 2 Licensing Applications for the 2025/26 season.
