The First Minister announced on Saturday that the whole of mainland Scotland will be placed in level 4 for at least three weeks, meaning it will be 16th January at the earliest before any matches (including friendlies) can resume.

The Return to Football Hub has the details of what is permitted within each of the levels: please ensure to familiarise yourselves with the information on there. As before, the only permitted football activity within level 4 is non-contact training within your own local authority. This applies to all age groups. The guidance on permitted activity within each level can be found at https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/football-development/return-to-football-hub/covid-protection-levels-guidance/

I would like to express our utmost thanks to all of you, for your continued commitment to the development of youth football in Scotland, especially throughout this strange year.

We continue to live in extremely challenging times, however here’s hoping for progress, positivity and a resumption of normality in 2021.

Kind regards,
Florence Witherow
National Secretary
Scottish Youth FA
