Key Information
Football is one of the biggest and most popular sports in the SSS programme.
A number of Scottish universities compete in the BUCS Men’s and Women’s Leagues, with fixtures played on Wednesday afternoons.
There are several different cup competitions that happen at differing levels of the structure, with the BUCS Championships & Knockouts, SSS Conference Cup and Plate.
Further to this, the men’s first teams compete for the Queen’s Park Shield, a separate knockout competition established in 2011 having previously been awarded to the winner of BUCS Scottish League 1A. The women’s teams compete for the SSS Women’s Cup with the finals day for both taking place in April.
Finally, there is a dedicated College Cup competition for both men and women with the Finals being contested at the College National Finals in May.

Aonghus Sellar
Aonghus has been involved in the Scottish Student Football scene since 2017, first as a player at Heriot-Watt University before joining our Sports Group as Student Representative in 2022.
Since then he has flourished, moving to Vice Chair and leading the group’s social media coverage before taking on the role of Chair in 2024.
Why Volunteer?
“Football was, single-handedly, the reason I stuck out a tough year when I first went to Heriot-Watt University which then led to pursuing a career within the sports industry. Without Scottish Student Football, I would not have returned to University in 2018, completed two degrees, or found a calling to work within the industry/environment that shaped me.
Scottish Student Football and the Sports Group provided great opportunities to help shape the face and delivery of student football across Scotland – ultimately leading into a leadership role which supports my performance in my day job.
