The FA National Silent Support Weekend initiative will be returning this November, aiming once again to champion positive touchline behaviour across grassroots youth football in England.

During Silent Support Weekend, spectators are welcome to show appreciation through applause for good play and coaches can offer encouragement to their teams.

Spectators are asked to avoid shouting or calling out, helping to create an enjoyable, pressure-free experience for all young players. The initiative is designed to give young players the space to thrive without distractions from the sidelines. In a quieter environment, players can find their voice on the pitch and improve their decision making while developing as players and enjoying the game
