League Football Education

League Football Education (LFE) was established in 2004 by The EFL and The PFA to provide education, guidance, and welfare to young footballers at 66 clubs. The organization's focus is on delivering the Apprenticeship Programme to 16 to 18-year-old players at EFL clubs. LFE's responsibilities also include providing life skills to U9-U23 players, parents, and club staff, covering a wide range of areas such as emotional well-being, equality & diversity, finance, cardiac and sexual health awareness, social media, and personal development. In collaboration with The EFL and EFL Trust, LFE offers a CT Study Programme, enabling 16 to 18-year-old learners to pursue sport-related qualifications while representing their club at football or futsal. As a registered charity (No. 1104917), LFE receives funds from the Education & Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) to deliver the Apprenticeship over a two-year period, with partial funding from the European Social Fund. LFE's continuous efforts in providing essential life skills and education to young footballers make it a crucial entity within the sports industry, emphasizing the importance of holistic development for aspiring athletes. Although specific details about the headquarter location and recent investments are not available at the moment, the impact and scope of LFE's activities position it as a significant player in nurturing the next generation of football talent.
