Haverfordwest County is one of only eight clubs that has been issued an FAW Domestic Licence and also qualified for UEFA Licence today.
This entitles them to take part in the restructured Welsh Premier League next season. The teams that have been granted Domestic Licences are Abeystwyth Town; Carmarthen Town; Haverfordwest County; Llanelli; Neath; Newtown; Prestatyn Town and The New Saints.

Clubs such as Rhyl, Port Talbot and Bangor City, have missed out on a Domestic Licence, but they do have the right to appeal to another independent committee. Clubs will be given ten days to submit their appeal.

Nine clubs were also granted UEFA Licences that included Bangor City and Porthmadog, who both missed out on a Domestic Licence.

“I’m delighted that we’ve been granted both licences,” said Haverfordwest County chairman Rob Summons. “We’ve worked really hard to ensure that our club is running to a high standard."
FAW Club Licensing Manager Andrew Howard said: "The First Instance Body was extremely diligent in their assessment of the clubs today and after a very long meeting, I am satisfied with their outcome."
"I firmly believe that some clubs will be successful on appeal and one certainly should rectify this within a matter of days."
It is the Football Association of Wales & apos strategy to have a Welsh Premier League consisting of twelve clubs next year with the domestic licence and Howard added: “I’m optimistic that we will attain that number."
