Welcome to the Return To Football Hub

The Scottish Government COVID-19 Framework for Decision Making, ‘Scotland’s route map through and out the crisis’, is the document that the Scottish FA grassroots sub-group are using to plan and create a framework to support clubs through this difficult period.

Guidance and support for clubs will be published on this page as the government transition between phases.
