A record 3,018 players took part in this year’s Spar Scotland Future Stars girls’ football tournament.
The tournament culminated in a Finals Day at Scotland’s national stadium, Barclays Hampden Park, on Wednesday 3 June 2026, with Firhill High School and Kemnay Academy taking the gold.
Paula Middleton, Head of Marketing, Spar Scotland said: “The growth of Spar Scotland Future Stars has been incredible to see, and this year’s record participation numbers show just how strong the appetite for girls’ football continues to be across Scotland. To give these young players the opportunity to play at Barclays Hampden Park is a special milestone and one that reflects the ambition of the programme and the opportunities we want to create for the next generation.”
Shirley Martin, Head of Girls & Women’s Football at the Scottish FA added: “The opportunity to play at the national stadium is something that can be an inspiration for the players taking part and continue to fuel their ambition to go as far as they can in the game. Whether it is simply to play with their friends and stay active, or take steps within the professional game, events like today can motivate them to keep growing and learning.”
