Fans are being encouraged to get nominations in for their heroes ahead of the ScottishPower Scottish Women’s Football Awards in November.
Hosted by the grassroots governing body Scottish Women’s Football (SWF), shortlisted by the public and awarded by a select judging panel, these prestigious awards will culminate in a showpiece gala event in front of a star-studded audience at Hampden Park on the 28th November.
ScottishPower are once again title sponsors of the event, while the SundayPost returns as media partner.
Awards such as Highlands & Islands Player of the Year and the Sunday Post Volunteer of the Year recognise grassroots heroes, while top stars will vie for SWPL Player and Coach of the Year in an event that celebrates success and recognises achievement both on and off the pitch.
Fans will once again have the opportunity to nominate a referee who has gone above and beyond to help support players and the women’s and girls’ game across Scotland, and for the first time, the awards will honour a women’s Walking Football team, thanks to the partnership between SWF and Walking Football Scotland.
There will also be an induction into the Scottish Football Hall of Fame on the night.
Commenting, Scottish Women’s Football CEO Aileen Campbell said: “Our annual celebration of all things women’s football in Scotland goes from strength to strength, and it’s fantastic that we can recognise the achievements of referees and walking footballers too. With renewed backing of ScottishPower, this will be a fantastic night as always.
“There are stars and future stars, as well as many unsung heroes in our game, from the premier league role models to the volunteers who work tirelessly behind the scenes to open up opportunities for girls to play the game they love. Don’t forget to recognise those achievements by nominating now on the SWF website.”
Commenting, Matt Ramsay, CEO of Walking Football Scotland said: “The ScottishPower SWF Awards is such a big night in the women’s game, which is why I am delighted that we are able to celebrate the success of Walking Football Scotland at the event. Walking Football makes a genuine difference to people’s lives, so it will be great to see those achievements recognised too.”
Keith Anderson, Chief Executive of ScottishPower, said: “Following the renewal and expansion of our game-changing partnership with SWF and the SWPL earlier this year, we’re proud once again to be backing such a great celebration of the successes and achievements of women and girls across the country.
“The awards celebrate the people who are making the game thrive right across Scotland, from players and coaches to referees, volunteers and those working behind the scenes to help the game continue to grow.
“As nominations open, we encourage fans, clubs and communities across the country to recognise those making a difference and helping to inspire the next generation of women and girls in football.”
Nominations are open until 16 October and made via the SWF website HERE.
