The English Schools’ Football Association will begin their search for this season’s most talented Schools’ Footballers to represent their country in the 2019/2020 Schools’ Football season this weekend across England.

Trials will see girls travelling to various venues across England for their first opportunity to earn a place in the 2019/20 England squad.

Events will be hosted in the North, the Midlands, South East and South West of the country where trialists will get the opportunity to impress regional selectors in the hope of making it through to the next round of trials, which will take place on 10 November, before the final squad is selected on Sunday 15 December.

Participating girls will have been nominated for the opportunity to trial for England either by playing for their local County squad and showing real talent and potential in doing so, or, for those areas who do not run county football, girls will have been nominated by their school for consideration within the trials.

To have been nominated is a real honour for each of the players involved and with the prospect of representing their country as an end goal, will be eager to impress at upcoming events.

The ESFA England squads are made up of the best players in Schools’ Football in England. They are chosen based upon their talent, following making it through a strict nomination process. Those who are successful in the trials process will go on to represent their country playing in 2020’s Rod Houston Cup, as well as some other friendly fixtures.

Since 1904 English Schools’ Football Association has been the governing body for schools’ football in England. The ESFA remain proud of their remit as an educational organisation, and have deeply rooted values and beliefs in the importance of schools’ football for children in England.
