Comment: With current references this will not meet WP:GNG or WP:NSPORT. But I am sure there is more references out there for this subject. Improvement is needed or this likely won't make it out of draft. Demt1298 (talk) 20:28, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
The Scottish women's football league system is a series of generally connected leagues for women's Scottish football clubs.
The Scottish system is more complicated than many other national league systems, consisting of several completely separate systems or 'grades' of leagues and clubs. As well as senior football there is junior football, and also amateur football and welfare football.
