Inquiry into the Welsh Premier League
The Communities, Equality and Local
Government Committee undertook an inquiry into the Welsh Premier League. The terms of reference for the inquiry were to look at issues around the Welsh Premier League (WPL) including:
- the extent to which the standards of football in the WPL
have developed during the past 20 years;
- the competition format, looking at possible
alternative models such as a move to a summer season;
- the development and progression of players, coaches
and managers from the WPL to other levels of the game;
- how the WPL contributes towards player development
and participation at lower levels, including issues of equality of
opportunity;
- the WPL’s standing within the Welsh sporting
landscape and its visibility in Welsh media outlets;
- the member clubs, their infrastructure and resources;
- how the FAW’s recent Strategic Plan 2012 will
contribute towards strengthening the WPL, and how the WPL will contribute
towards the Strategic Plan’s aims.
