SPAR Scotland launches Future Stars competition
Registration for SPAR Scotland’s Future Stars competition is now open
Registration for the schoolgirl football tournament, called the 2022 Future Stars Tournament, is now open!
In partnership with the Scottish FA, the Future Stars Tournament which is sponsored by SPAR Scotland is designed to support women and girls’ grassroots football.
Due to Government restrictions, the Future Stars final could not take place over the last two years’ but SPAR Scotland has received a huge amount of support from hundreds of teams looking to take part at a local and regional level.
Still in its original format, the competition is designed to encourage girls between the ages of 12-16 years old to take part in the football competition and build on the positive momentum in women’s football generated by the success of the Scotland Women’s National Team.
Registration is now open for girls in S1 to S4 right across Scotland. Teams of seven can compete against each other in local rounds throughout February and March. The competition then moves to regional rounds with a national finals’ day planned for a date later in the year.
Colin McLean, CEO of SPAR Scotland, said: “Our partnership with the SFA on the Future Stars Tournament is intrinsically linked to our company. We are a family business supporting SPAR stores in communities all over Scotland. We are passionate about sport and the benefits it brings in terms of healthy lifestyles and look forward to giving girls passionate about football the opportunity to play at a major Scottish stadium in the Future Stars Tournament Final.”
Fiona McIntyre, Scottish FA Head of Girls’ and Women’s Football also commented; “Increasing participation and inspiring the next generation is a big part of the Scottish FA’s Girls and Women’s Strategy.
We are excited to see the Future Stars tournament back up and running. It was tough to see so many young people miss out on these things during the pandemic, so I think we’re all looking forward to making up for lost time. We remain extremely grateful to SPAR Scotland for their support, and they share our enthusiasm for the competition and what it represents.
It was great to see 17-year old Rachel Johnstone recently win her first senior Scotland call-up for the Pinatar Cup and watching her meet new team-mates that she’d looked up to and watched play in a World Cup was a special moment. You could see what it meant to her.
Who knows? The next Rachael Johnstone could be playing in the Future Stars Tournament. Whether those playing are inspired and want to follow in her footsteps one day, or just enjoy a fun, safe environment to show off their skills, I’m glad they’ll have that platform again.”
