Nominations have opened for the 2021 Scottish FA Grassroots Awards, presented by McDonald’s and the Sunday Mail.
The awards recognise and celebrate the work of grassroots volunteers across Scotland who make a real difference to their clubs and communities.
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in the past year has been felt across communities, with many clubs enduring some of their biggest challenges.
Volunteers are crucial to both clubs and communities, particularly over the past year in which they have found innovative ways to excel in the face of hardship, exemplifying the importance of their role in the grassroots game.
Scottish football legend and McDonald’s ambassador Sir Kenny Dalglish is calling on the football community to nominate their grassroots heroes.
He asaid: “The Grassroots Awards play a pivotal role in making sure that Scottish football’s unsung heroes get the recognition they deserve. During the pandemic we’ve seen just how important volunteers are to local communities which will undoubtedly be reflected in this year’s awards.
“Many grassroots clubs have taken a leading role in supporting their communities throughout the pandemic, showing the power football has to be a force for good.
“These awards honour the heart and soul of the Scottish game – the people that make football brilliant both on and off the field.”
