The Scottish FA, in conjunction with community partners McDonald’s, has today officially launched a new community programme aimed at providing a safe and enjoyable football experience for those just starting out on their footballing journey.
Part of McDonald’s continued commitment to developing grassroots programmes across the UK, the McDonald’s Fun Football programme aims to provide new opportunities for children between the ages of five and 10 to develop their skills.
The programme, which was the subject of a Scottish Parliamentary reception earlier this week featuring Scotland internationals Charlie Mulgrew and Suzanne Winters, will take place at venues across the country and will be split into two strands – ‘On the Pitch’ and ‘At the Club’.
