Cardiff City achieve EFL Family Excellence status

Cardiff City FC have been awarded Family Excellence status by the EFL for the 2021/22 campaign.

A total of 65 EFL Clubs have achieved Family Excellence status for the 2021/22 season.​​The record-breaking number, up from 63 Clubs in 2019/20, recognises continuous improvement and best practice in family engagement across the League and rewards Clubs in their efforts to attract and retain young fans of the future.

Now in its 14th year, the Family Excellence Scheme is an ongoing consultation programme, which aims to drive continuous improvement and best practice in family engagement across the leagues.

The scheme sees each EFL Club receive two ‘mystery family’ visits throughout the season, with their feedback and reports determining whether each respective club would achieve ‘Family Excellence’ status.

EFL Chief Executive, Trevor Birch, said:

​​“I would like to congratulate the record number of Clubs that have achieved Family Excellence status this season. Ensuring a memorable matchday experience is vital to attract the next generation of young fans, so it’s great to see so many clubs excelling in this area”.

 “Fans returning to EFL clubs in their millions this season has been fantastic to see and club staff should be commended for going the extra mile to make the matchdays engaging for families attending live games.”
