Recognition for those who boost football in Borders communities

The annual awards, presented by McDonald’s, are now in their 18th year and celebrate individuals across the country who are making a difference to football in their local community.

Despite the current football shutdown, the inspired work of committed individuals in the grassroots game over the past year will be recognised, with nominations open until July 3.

Grassroots football clubs, coaches and volunteers from the six Scottish FA regions can be nominated for the awards, which are split in to regional and national categories.

There are plenty of opportunities for grassroots football heroes across the country to be rightfully recognised and the best of the regional winners will be celebrated at a showpiece national ceremony when circumstances allow.

Award categories: Best Volunteer in Youth Football; Best Volunteer in Adult Football; Best Volunteer in Girls’ /Women’s’ Football; Best Para-Football Project; Best Community Football for All Project; Best Young Volunteer; Best Community Football Club; Best Professional Football Club in the Community.
