Detailed plans have been revealed for a £4m community football stadium in Sheffield, Yorkshire.

The Westfield Community Football Centre will be developed and managed by Sheffield and Hallamshire County Football Association (SHCFA).

It will be located in the south east of the city on a site which used to house an old school sports centre.

The site is already being used as the new centre will replace eight poorly drained and maintained pitches with vandalised changing facilities used by about 20 weekend football and rugby union teams.

Facilities at the new site will include a full size third generation artificial floodlit pitch with spectator stands, five-a-side pitches; eight grass pitches for football and rugby; a Fitness Unlimited-branded health club built and managed by Sheffield International Venues (SIV); jogging and cycle track; physiotherapy clinic; community multi-purpose meeting rooms and classrooms; and social facility and changing rooms.

James Hope-Gill, SHCFA chief executive, said: "The facilities and programmes that will be developed by the County FA and other agencies will address local training, club development, active play for children, local recruitment, community activities and potentially GP referrals and other health initiatives in addition to expanding existing specific football initiatives.

Funding for the community project is expected to come from grants via The Football Association, The Football Foundation, Sport England and the Rugby Football Union plus some capital from the County FA. Naming rights and sponsorship opportunities will also be considered.
