Scottish FA: Pitching In Fund
Created: 04/03/2026
News/Events Category: Funding and Finance
The Pitching In Fund is a capital investment fund that encompasses both Community Football Spaces and Member Club facility aspirations.
In 2026/27, the Scottish FA's Pitching In Fund will distribute a further £8.14m into key football facilities identified as critical in retaining and increasing participation at grassroots level and where there is an evidence-based need for investment. These facilities will promote healthy, physical activity through football and other sports, contributing to social inclusion and cohesion in safe and attractive environments and in a sustainable way.
This investment will prioritise:
- Football supporting facilities in identified areas of deprivation
- Girls and women's activity that supports growth and retains participation
- Multi-sport opportunities where possible - as a minimum, five hours per week of activity beyond football
- Projects that offer regular use to under-represented groups
Sustainability is at the heart of facility investment within the Scottish FA. Any potential project application submitted to the Scottish FA Pitching In Fund should take reasonable steps to include sustainability measures within their project.
The works proposed must be complete by 31 March 2027.
Who can apply?
Community grassroots football clubs, and clubs in membership of The Scottish FA.
How to apply
Download the application form from the website and submit to [email protected]
The closing date for applications is 11.59am on Monday 09 March 2026.
