Football Fans in Training is back for 2026-27 at SPFL clubs across the country
WELCOME TO THE SPFL TRUST

Football United.

We work in partnership with SPFL and SWPL clubs and their associated community trusts to support people across Scotland.

Our charity has national reach, but makes a big local impact.

We provide funding, bring together expertise, build connections, and represent forty six community trusts across the men's and women's game, enabling them to be agents for social change.

Fifteen years of connections

At the SPFL Trust we've worked with clubs and community trusts for over 15 years.

We use the power of football combined with our national reach to make a big local impact.

Could you join us on our journey to change communities for the better?
