On Wednesday 16 December 2020, Lancashire Football Association proudly hosted its prestigious 30 and 50-year Long Service Awards and Grassroots Football Awards ceremonies, which enabled the County FA and the wider grassroots football community to congratulate and celebrate those who have helped and supported the national game throughout Lancashire during the 2019/20 season.

Due to this year’s unusual circumstances we were unable to celebrate in person, so instead created a live stream via our YouTube channel for people to safely watch from the comfort of their own homes. We were delighted to be able to deliver this evening of celebration – albeit in a different format to usual – and we hope everyone who tuned in enjoyed the ceremony as much as we enjoyed delivering it. 

Lancashire FA is extremely proud of all of this year’s nominees and winners, who all showed outstanding dedication to the game during an unusual 2019/20 season. The work you do week in week out is outstanding and your efforts are truly appreciated by the team at Lancashire FA.

Congratulations once again to the following 2020 Lancashire FA Award Winners!
