The Scottish Football Association’s new Football For All campaign will invest more than £1.5million in funding help boost the national game. Clubs can now apply for funding from a grassroots recovery fund and a girls and women’s recovery fund from the Scottish FA website. SFA Chief football officer Andy Gould: “After facing many challenges throughout the Coronavirus pandemic, now is a vital time to support the grassroots game as Government restrictions ease and allow an increase in football activity. “I recognise the many challenges facing the grassroots game, and the Football for All funding will be a huge boost to our concerted efforts to get people playing the national sport again. “The funding presents a wonderful opportunity to kick-start the game, and it is crucial that we continue to work with key stakeholders to further ensure that grassroots football can flourish once more.”
