About

The Scottish Youth Football Association (SYFA) is the governing body for grassroots children and youth football in Scotland. Our remit covers children aged up to and including 18.

In conjunction with our leagues, clubs, and teams, we are responsible for administering football activity, collectively working to ensure children and young people can participate in the safest possible environment.

The SYFA’s Mission

Leading the way and modernising our approach to guarantee the continued growth of grassroots football. Encouraging all boys and girls throughout Scotland to play organised football and enabling every child to develop and flourish as a player. SYFA is helping all our volunteers to create a safe and fun environment while developing and supporting our players.

The SYFA’s Vision

To increase the number of children and young adults playing organised, quality football throughout Scotland.
