HRH The Prince of Wales has been named as the Patron of the FA

Wednesday 24 Jul 2024

We're pleased to announce that His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales, is to become Patron of the FA.

The patronage was previously held by Queen Elizabeth II and, following her passing, the Royal Household has undertaken a major review of Royal Patronages and charity Presidencies.

His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales, has held the position of President at the FA since 2006, and a member of the Royal Family has provided additional support to the organisation’s Patron in this role since 1939.

Given the active role within the FA of His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales, the position of President will not be filled at this time.
