IFASupportersLeague Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 The Scottish IFA league is actively looking for new teams and we're keen to hear from you! You can find out more in the press release below and on the IFA website https://www.theifa.uk/ Any questions, I'll do my best to answer! Supporters encouraged to pull on club colours for Scottish fans league "A football league that brings fans from clubs across Scotland and England is looking for new member clubs as it seeks to expand. The Internet Football Association (IFA) has operated across the UK for nearly 30 years, encouraging fans of Scottish and English clubs to get together before the clubs they support face off in the afternoon. There are currently eight teams playing in the Scottish league with fans of Livingston, Motherwell, Airdrie, Ayr United, Partick Thistle, Heart of Midlothian, Queens Park and even German side St. Pauli pulling on their boots on a Saturday morning. The league is designed to be more welcoming than traditional Saturday amateur football, with teams asked to commit to the IFA Spirit which looks to foster a friendlier environment for those taking part and is open to all ages and abilities. Tom Cheeseman from Livingston GS said: “The IFA has been a perfect league for us. There’s no requirement to train during the week, none of the negatives that some of us have encountered with other leagues and most of all a chance to represent the team we support with our mates before going on to watch the ‘big’ team play in the afternoon.” Fans are also encouraged to meet up after their morning games to socialise before heading to the afternoon's big game. David Fraser from Motherwell FC fans team Fir Park Corner, said: “ I’ve been involved in the IFA for 23 years and I’ve loved every minute. It’s given me the chance to play all over the UK while making some friends for life, as well as providing a platform for myself and others to support our team at the same time.” There are also opportunities to play outside of Scotland. The prestigious IFA British Cup is a cross-border competition that sees teams from Scotland and England take part in a knockout tournament to crown the IFA’s top team. The annual WorldNet weekend is the highlight of the IFA season. The two-day competition, held in a central location in the UK, sees teams from the Scottish and English leagues come together with teams from as far afield as Nigeria to enjoy a weekend of football and socialising. Clubs or individuals (IFA can support individuals on how to start their club's team to join, if needed) interested in joining the league are encouraged to register their interest before the start of the 2024/25 season and the IFA is asking for those who may be able to assist with recruitment to contact the league’s committee at: committee@theifa.uk" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
