What is happening?
As part of the first phase, the league will ensure that AEDs are provided to Football Foundation-funded facilities that are currently operating without a device onsite.
In phase two, grassroots clubs that own their facilities will be able to apply for funding to purchase a defibrillator of their own.
In total, the league says that more than 2,000 sites will benefit from this new program with the first 1,000 units delivered in time for the start of the 2021-22 season.
The second batch, meanwhile, won t be far behind as it is expected to arrive in September, with the two phases giving access to roughly 1.5 million people that use those facilities.
