Scottish Junior Football League

The Scottish Junior Football League is a semi-professional football system in Scotland, comprising clubs that are independent of the Scottish Professional Football League. "Junior" refers to the level of play rather than age, and these teams often have strong local roots. The league operates across various regional divisions, with promotion and relegation between tiers. It has a rich history, emphasizing community engagement and grassroots development. While it is distinct from the senior professional leagues, many clubs have a passionate following and serve as vital stepping stones for players and communities involved in Scottish football.
