Welcome to the ESFA website – the home of Schools’ Football

If you are looking to login to your School or Association account, please follow this link or click on the ‘National Competitions‘ tab. This is also where you can view fixtures and results.

You should find everything you need to know about Schools’ Football here on our website, but please contact us if you are unable to find the information you are looking for.

The ESFA creates such a high volume of activity for school pupils across England, from National Competitions, to local District and County activity, to Schools’ Football Week and beyond, that it can be difficult to really see what the Association stands for.

We have therefore created this fantastic “Guide for Teachers”, which brings together the many ways of getting involved within ESFA activity, whether locally or nationally. We hope that this is a useful tool to get to know the ESFA better and to make sure that you, your school and your players are involved in ESFA activity wherever possible.

Our Mission

Through the medium of association football, the English Schools’ FA will support young people who are in education to develop:

• Self-discipline, loyalty and resilience

• Respect for those around them

• Positive decision-making

• A healthy lifestyle and physical skills

• A love and understanding of the game through enjoyment and achievement
