The planning application for the new Kennoway facility has been submitted to Fife Council and construction is earmarked for December next year.
Football teams at the Kennoway Park have been forced to resort to portable facilities for three years, but Bob McPhail, chairman of Kennoway Sports Association, is confident it will be all change soon.
He said: "There's not been much fund-raising going on but there's been a lot of work going on behind the scenes.
"The planning application has been submitted and we have £160-170,000 of guaranteed funding.
"We also have the services of dedicated fund-raisers now and are applying to various funding bodies, including sportscotland, so we are probably looking at December 2009."
The new facility – which will take only eight weeks to construct – will replace Fife Council's Carstairs Hall, which was condemned three years ago.
Revisions to the plans include a new building location on the park's gravel pitch, but the facility will still include eight changing rooms with showers, a ladies' changing room and disabled toilets.
The modular building also boasts a first aid treatment room, a small hall, kitchen, first aid treatment room and referee's room.
Bob added: "There's definitely a need for it and we have the evidence to prove it.
"From starting out 10 years ago with one class of 10 people, we now have 300-plus kids accessing football opportunities here.
"We have a waiting list now and this is not an ego trip for the coaches – we all know there are problems out there with drugs and alcohol but we can give kids a football alternative two nights a week and at the weekends."
