The Scottish Football Association is the governing body for football in Scotland and is made up of six affiliated national associations and five recognised leagues. The Scottish FA exists to promote, foster and develop the game of football at all levels in Scotland. Founded in 1873, Scottish football’s governing body has recently undergone the most radical changes in its history, enabling the Scottish FA to lead the game into a new era. 

The Academy

Club Academy Scotland (CAS) is the Scottish FA structure that defines, operates and partially funds the Academy system in this country, alongside a games programme. It governs the development of players from the age of 11 to 17, rising to Under-18 level from August 2018. Clubs are assessed against set criteria and a set of Measureable Performance Outcomes (MPOs), which take into account performance in areas like domestic and international appearances for home-grown players, coaching qualifications, facilities, talent identification and sports science and medicine set-ups.

The Club

Titles, triumphs, and tears, all celebrated by their fans called the Tartan Army. The Scotland national team stands for major success and huge emotions, for sporting excellence and excellent integration. And for the Tartan Army, the Scottish FA stands for unforgettable moments.
