Scottish public urged to support ‘dynamic’ amputee football in Nations League

The founder of Scotland’s Amputee Football Association has called on the nation’s public to get behind the inaugural EAFF Nations League in October.

Hosting Group D of the competition, Scotland will be joined by the Netherlands, Albania, Azerbaijan and Kosovo in Fife in what will be the biggest international para-football tournament of its kind to take place in the country.

The matches will take place at Dalgety Bay Sports Centre and Ashley Reid, who is also chief executive of Scottish Para-Football, told the PA news agency: “We’d love for people to come along and support the team and indeed to get a flavour of this exciting and dynamic form of football.

“It’s an enormous coup for Scotland to be hosting an event such as this.

We are delighted to be announced as hosts of the @EuroAmp Group D Nations League!

We can’t wait to welcome Albania, The Netherlands, Kosovo and Azerbaijan to Scotland later this year.

More information such as Fixtures and squad announcements coming soon.
