National Fans’ Organisation Calls for Election Manifesto Input

 

DATE: 23/10/2025

 

• Scotland’s national independent fans organisation, the Scottish Football Supporters’ Association (SFSA), is reaching out to all football stakeholders to contribute to form a National Football Manifesto

 

• The details gathered from the survey will form the basis of the research that will be developed into a Fans Manifesto ahead of the Holyrood 2026 elections.

 

Co-founder of the SFSA, Simon Barrow, said: “With the Scottish Parliament elections coming up soon, it is vital once to get the views of the football community across to politicians of all parties – as  happened in 2017, when nearly 17,000 fans submitted views that led to the first ever Fan-Led Review of the Game, summarised in our 2023 report, Rebuilding Scottish Football.”

 

The organisation says that it is “excited to  look for fresh and innovative thinking that can help move the dial on how  the game in Scotland is developed from the grassroots right to the top of the pyramid. Football fans need a voice and their votes are very much up for grabs.”

 

The SFSA is Scotland’s only fully independent supporters’ organisation, open to fans from all clubs  and at all levels of our national game. A non-profit voluntary body and a registered Community Interest Company with some 85,000 individual and corporate members, the SFSA works with fans, clubs, the football authorities and the Scottish Government to make Scottish football better for everyone, with supporters at the heart of it.
