Big news alert!
After 10 wonderful years as an independent charity football league, the Glasgow Community & Co-operative League is delighted to announce that we have agreed to amalgamate with the Glasgow & District Sunday Football Championship for the 2025/26 season onwards.
This was not an easy decision - we are incredibly proud of the achievements of the GCCL, in not only offering a safe and tolerant space for football, but also in raising money for and awareness of good causes. However, with changing footballing habits, it has become harder year on year to consistently deliver the sort of competition we want and to ensure that new teams entering the league commit to our founding principles and ethos.
For that reason, it was decided that the best course of action was amalgamation with the GDSFC, a well-established and incredibly successful Sunday league which is fully affiliated to the SFA and SAFA. We believe that being part of this larger organisation will best serve the interests of our clubs going forward, and look forward to working with our friends at the GDSFC who have had remarkable growth themselves over the last decade.
For some teams, it will even be a return to familiar surroundings, with some GCCL teams having been GDSFC members for many years in the past.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the GCCL's successes over the last decade, from sponsors to fans, volunteers of course, all the wonderful players who made it all possible. We hope that the league's founding ethos of community, co-operation, openness and non-violence can follow our teams into the new setup.
We had a good run of it...now it's time to get excited for the next chapter!
