Shirley Martin, Head of Girls & Women’s Football at the Scottish FA, added: “Spar Future Stars is a great opportunity for schoolgirls to play in a fun and friendly environment, with their friends, while representing their schools. We are delighted with the growth of this competition and proud to see teams from every corner of Scotland reach the national finals.

“Encouraging young girls into football is vital for the growth of the game. Initiatives like this by Spar Scotland play an important role in nurturing a lifelong love of sport, building confidence and creating pathways to future opportunities.”

Colin McLean, CEO of Spar Scotland, said: “We are proud to see such strong momentum behind the programme. This year, more than 3,000 girls from across Scotland took part – a remarkable milestone that shows just how much appetite there is for opportunities like this.

“We welcomed over 60 more teams than last year, with some schools registering interest within days of the 2024 finals. It’s clear that this tournament has become a much-anticipated fixture on the school sports calendar.

“Our goal has always been to create a positive, inclusive platform where girls can enjoy the game, develop their skills, and represent their schools in a supportive and competitive environment. As we look ahead to 2026, we are committed to building on this success – helping even more young people stay active, feel connected, and be part of something bigger in their communities.”
