The U11 and U13 Girls’ Football Festival, in partnership with ISFA takes place in May.

The day will be split into two parts. In the morning, schools will take part in a series of friendly matches against other schools. The results of these matches will determine which tournament competition each school takes part in during the afternoon session.

All matches will be 7-a-side. Each school is permitted a squad of no more than 10 players, only seven of whom may be on the pitch at any one time. However, it is not mandatory to bring 10 players and schools may bring less than 10 players if they wish.
