New 3G football pitches planned

We are currently working on plans to build a brand-new artificial 3G football pitch in Attleborough, as part of a commitment to further expand the sports and leisure facilities in Attleborough.

The proposed site for a new 3G pitch will be located on the Attleborough Academy site, Norwich Road, supporting local men's, women’s, and disabled football players, as well as casual users. The academy students would also benefit from its use during designated time slots.

Breckland Council is working in partnership with the Academy, the Sapientia Trust and the Football Foundation to secure the £1 million investment required to deliver this project, with a grant funding decision expected in 2024. Other partners in the project includes Norfolk Football Association, Sports England, Attleborough Town Football Club and Attleborough Town Council. We hope to secure planning permission later this year.
