<p>Decisions on the allocation of funds under the Multi-Sport Grassroots Facilities
Programme are devolved to relevant sporting bodies in respective parts of the UK,
as they have appropriate expertise and understanding of local provision. Sport Scotland
provides advice and guidance alongside the Scottish FA through the project selection
process. Details on the Scottish FA’s approach are published <a href="https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/football-development/scottish-fa-grassroots-pitch-facilities-fund/"
target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p>However, multi-sport benefit is a key pillar of the
grassroots facilities programme and we stipulate that at least 40% of projects must
benefit at least one other sport in addition to football, on a sustained and regular
basis. There is no requirement for particular sports to be prioritised as part of
this objective, and multi-sport plans are led by local need.</p><p>Projects are selected
for a variety of reasons - some for their ability to deliver improved facilities in
deprived areas, others may support multi-sport use, and/or increase participation
among currently under-represented groups — such as women and girls or disabled players.</p>
