Women's Football
Like its English counterpart, Scottish women's football is largely seen as an amateur game, given the emphasis on the male competitions. As in the men's game, the women's league structure consists of a Premier League and a Football League with Divisions One and Two, but the second division is split into North, West, and Central & East regions. In the women's SFL, reserve and youth squads may compete as long as they do not compete in the same division as the titular club. There are also three cup competitions, the Scottish Women's Cup, Scottish Women's Premier League Cup and the Scottish Women's League Cup

Famous quotes containing the words women and/or football:
“I’ve always felt that English women had to be approached in a sisterly manner, rather than an erotic manner.”
—Anthony Burgess (b. 1917)
“In football they measure forty-yard sprints. Nobody runs forty yards in basketball. Maybe you run the ninety-four feet of the court; then you stop, not on a dime, but on Miss Liberty’s torch. In football you run over somebody’s face.”
—Donald Hall (b. 1928)
