  Scottish Football Association - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Along with the other "home nations" associations (The Football Association, Football Association of Wales and Irish Football Association) the SFA sits on the International Football Association Board which is responsible for the laws of the game.
The SFA also organise an annual "knock-out" tournament, the Scottish Cup which the 12 Scottish Premier League (SPL) clubs and 30 Scottish Football League (SFL) clubs automatically qualify, and 8 "non-league" clubs qualify for.
Although the SFA are not involved in the day-to-day running of the SPL or the SFL they do appoint referees to officiate at the games in these two leagues.

This grade of football is commonly mistaken for a level at which boys football is played, but the term 'junior' refers not to the age of the players, but the level of football played.
The 'senior' grade of football in Scotland is played in the Scottish Premier League, the Scottish Football League as well as the three senior non-leagues, the Highland Football League, the East of Scotland Football League and the South of Scotland Football League.
However the biggest competition is the Scottish Junior Cup which every 'junior' club competes for annually, with the final generally held each May.

In 1903 the Scottish Schools' Football Association was formed with most of its members from Glasgow, and the following year, 1904, saw the birth of the Glasgow and District Secondary Schools' Football Association.
In 1910, the Scottish National Schools' Football Association was formed and internationals against England were arranged.
