Founded in 1883, the Glasgow Football Association, based in the city of Glasgow, Scotland and affiliated to the national Scottish Football Association, is one of the oldest such bodies in football. In the modern game its influence is limited, the remit being "to represent the interests of the senior football clubs in Glasgow". Those senior clubs competing across the divisions in the Scottish Professional Football League include the two largest and most successful in the country by some distance, Celtic and Rangers (collectively the Old Firm), as well as Partick Thistle, Queen's Park (the oldest football club in Scotland) and Clyde (who have not been based permanently in Glasgow since the 1980s); the three smaller clubs exist in the shadow of their dominant neighbours. A sixth team, Third Lanark, had a strong record until their sudden collapse in the mid 1960s.

The association's most prominent role is the administration of the Glasgow Cup, a tournament for clubs in the city first contested in 1888, which was once a coveted prize but diminished in importance during the 20th century as national and continental football became more popular; from the 1990s it was contested between the member clubs' youth teams, with a 2020 revamp mixing senior teams from the smaller clubs and underage teams from Celtic and Rangers. In addition to the Glasgow Cup, the association aims to "encourage the involvement of local schools and the development of youth football through a variety of other programmes and events".[https://www.glasgowfa.co.uk/index.html About the Glasgow FA], Glasgow Football Association[https://rangers.co.uk/news/academy-news/12-years-of-glasgow-cup-support/ 12 years of Glasgow Cup support], Rangers FC, 29 April 2019 The Glasgow FA looks after the city's senior clubs but not those in lower categories: for example, the West of Scotland Football League contains several Glasgow-based semi-professional clubs (most previously affiliated to the Scottish Junior Football Association, West Region), and the Greater Glasgow Premier AFL is just one of several leagues involving teams from the city under the Scottish Amateur Football Association umbrella.

History

The seven founders of the organisation at a meeting on 6 March 1883 (formed to compete with the older – 1877 – rival Edinburgh Association) included three of the six senior clubs that would carry on membership into the mid 20th century: Rangers, Clyde and Queen's Park, plus Northern, Partick and Pollokshields Athletic.[http://www.qphistory.com/p/season.html?m=1 Season 1882/83], Queen's Park Football Club - An Early History By the end of 1883, thirteen clubs were members: the initial six plus Battlefield, Cowlairs, Luton, Partick Thistle, South-Western, Third Lanark and Thistle.[https://www.electricscotland.com/history/sport/football/chapter25.htm Chapter XXV—Glasgow Association], History of the Queen's Park Football Club 1867 - 1917 (via Electric Scotland) The obvious absentee from the list is Celtic, which was first conceived in 1887 and began playing the following year; in contrast, Clydesdale were one of the leading clubs who had provided players for Scotland in the 1870s but were defunct by the time of the association's founding.

Glasgow had a representative team which took part in challenge matches against other associations,[http://sfha.org.uk/new-page-3.htm Representative Matches], Scottish Football Historical Archive. Retrieved 16 March 2022 most notably a series against the Sheffield Football Association which ran from 1874 to 1960, and played an important role in the early development of football due to the contrasting styles, rules and innovations used in two cities that were home to some of the oldest institutions of the game, such as Queen's Park and Sheffield F.C. respectively.[https://www.englandsoldestfootballclubs.com/sheffield-v-scotland-the-inter-city-games-1874-1960/ Sheffield v Scotland : The Inter-City games 1874-1960], Martin Westby, England's Oldest Football Clubs, 12 May 2020 The fixture fell out of favour in the late 1940s with new tournaments such as Scottish and English League Cups taking precedence, but was temporarily revived when floodlights were installed at more grounds to accommodate evening matches.[https://www.clydefc.co.uk/club/history/hall-of-fame/harry-haddock/ Hall of Fame - Harry Haddock], Clyde F.C.

The Scottish Football Association (SFA) handled the selection for matches that involved Glasgow before 1883, but the Glasgow Association inherited management of the team after its formation.[https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0001964/18870204/035/0003 TOMORROW'S FOOTBALL] Glasgow Evening News. 4 February 1887.
