Edinburgh youth football club celebrates becoming Scottish Cup finalist
Lochend Football Academy have won both their semi finals at age groups u14 and u16 levels to be the only club in the country to have two teams reaching the finals of Scotland’s national youth cup competition
This is the second time in Lochend FA history having only two seasons ago won the Scottish cup at u15 ( 2009 age ) and runners up at u14 ( 2010 age ) that year 2023/24.
This now making one of Edinburgh’s smallest clubs having reached 4 Scottish Cup Finals in 3 years. Quite astonishing given the club size and the bigger clubs in the surrounding areas of the city.
Head of Coaching, Ian Fergus who holds both the uefa A licence and the uefa A elite youth license is rightly proud of the achievements to date
“Myself and Jimmy Urquhart co - founded Lochend FA in 2010 and we’ve worked together to provide a small club with the best coaching and facilities we can offer. Developing players at the forefront and creating the environment to allow young players to thrive.
We are very much looking forward to our two teams playing in the National cup finals on the 26th of April at Broadwood stadium
The Lochend FA cup fairytale continues.
