News Detail » Latest Update from the Scottish FA Grassroots JRG

The following additional guidelines have been announced after discussions between the JRG and the Scottish Government.

1. Glasgow City Women’s FC can continue to train in preparation for their UEFA Women’s Champions League tie against Wolfsburg on 21 August and will be visited to audit and verify compliance.

2. Heart of Midlothian FC has been informed of the need to pause their current training programme until at least 24 August.

3. Adult (over-18) recreational football will not be permitted to participate in any form of organised training.

4. Youth (under-18) football can continue in line with current Scottish Government guidance. 

This unfortunately means that no amateur team can train until at least the 24th August.
  

Whilst this is disappointing news at this time it emphasises the fragility of the situation regarding the return of football for all, not just amateur football.

We remain hopeful that this backward step will not effect the indicative dates previously advised and we await the Scottish Government announcement next week
