The ongoing modernisation of the Scottish FA’s governance manifested itself in the creation of a new Congress in 2015: the national game’s first fully-representative group of stakeholders. It was the culmination of a two-year process of evolving the traditional Scottish FA Council and making it a more functional and inclusive body to debate, discuss and make recommendations on the key issues affecting the game. Club and affiliate representatives are now joined by recognised bodies such as PFA Scotland, Scottish Coaches’ and Managers’ Association, Scottish Senior Football Referees’ Association, Scottish Football Writers’ Association and sportscotland. Congress meets quarterly in addition to regular consultation meetings to provide feedback and guidance on prevalent strategic topics to the Scottish FA Board.
