Stirling & District Amateur Football Association
The Stirling & District Amateur Football Association (SDAFA) is a football league competition, primarily for amateur clubs in the Stirlingshire area of Scotland. It was formed in 1947 and is affiliated to the Scottish Amateur Football Association.
League Structure
The SDAFA is split into four divisions, a Premier Division of 12 teams, Division One which contains 11 teams and the bottom two tiers, Division Two & Three which both contain 14 clubs respectively. Each league has two clubs which are automatically promoted/relegated between divisions with the exception of Division Three, from which there is no relegation. As a stand-alone Association and not part of Scotland's pyramid system, the Premier Division does not act as a feeder league and as such there is currently no promotion available.
Current Season
The current season is the 2022-23 season. The Premier Division champions are Bonnybridge YFP, while the Division One champions are Polmont Community.
Domestic Cups
The SDAFA also runs a number of domestic cup competitions, including the:
- Scottish Amateur Cup
- East of Scotland Cup
- West of Scotland Cup
The Scottish Amateur Cup is the most prestigious cup competition in the SDAFA, and is open to all teams in the association. The winner of the Scottish Amateur Cup qualifies for the Scottish Cup, the main cup competition in Scottish football.
