Byron Red Star FC

Byron Red Star FC have always strived for excellence both on and off the pitch and to further enhance this we were awarded the FA Charter Standard status in June 2020 and have since become a two star accredited club.

 

The FA's Accredited Club programme recognises and rewards high quality of levels of provision in club, league and school’s football.  Since it was launched in 2001, the award has been granted to 4,500 clubs with 460 advanced level Community clubs and 120 leagues, and there are now over 2,500 Charter Standard Award Schools in England.
