Regional Selectors
The International Programme is governed by the ESFA’s Council through its Representative Football Committee. The Committee sets the international programme, which is built around the competitive fixtures provided by the Schools’ International Football Association Board (SAFIB). The Council further supports the international programme by running a series of regional trials, co-ordinated by a Council member or their nominee.
For the 19/20 season, regional co-ordinators are:
U15 Girls
| Council member | Area |
| Gareth Rusling | South West of England |
