The Nominations Now Open for the 2026 Scottish FA Grassroots Awards, supported by McDonald's.

These awards are always among the most special moments in the Scottish Grassroots football calendar, providing an opportunity to celebrate the incredible people, clubs and volunteers who go above and beyond to make our game possible. Across the country, thousands of dedicated individuals give their time, energy, and passion to ensure that people of all ages and abilities can enjoy our wonderful sport.

As another summer of football captures the imagination of fans around the world, it is important to remember that every football journey starts somewhere. For many players, coaches, referees, and volunteers, that journey began at a grassroots club, with people who encouraged, supported, and inspired them along the way.

This is your opportunity to shine a light on those individuals who make a real difference in your club, league, or community. We receive so many inspiring and humbling nominations each year, highlighting the very best of Scottish football and the remarkable people at its heart.

Last year was another fantastic celebration of our grassroots game, culminating in an unforgettable national awards ceremony. We were especially proud to see Pollok United crowned UEFA Grassroots Club of the Year, a tremendous achievement not only for the club itself but for Scotland's grassroots football community as a whole.

Please take a few moments to read through the information below and consider nominating someone who deserves recognition. Chances are they won't be seeking the spotlight, but their commitment, dedication and impact deserve to be celebrated.

We are fortunate to have such a passionate and committed grassroots football community in Scotland. Let's come together once again to recognise the people who make our game special and give them the recognition they truly deserve.

Thank you for your support, and we look forward to receiving your nominations.
