How does the competition work? Well. all you have to do is pick three football teams here in the UK from any English or Scottish leagues or you can mix up your choice from the two countries. Once you have picked the three teams, and sent them in to me via your entry form with the entry fee, these teams will be unique to you, as no-one else will have them teams. These three teams could make you our 38^th Champion by scoring as many goals as they can.  Where do these goals come from? They will come from any league game, and from the two English and Scottish domestic cup competitions.

We will have prize money throughout the season and if you have been following last season’s blog entries then you will know what I mean.  Each week I will send you a News Sheet via email which will tell you where you are in our table and how your teams are doing. Once the entry date has passed, you will not be able to join in.

Even if you just look at the simple rules and decide not to join in, there will be no pressure to join Golden Goals.

The New Season 2020/21

The start of the 2020/21 Season could throw a spanner in the works for us here at Golden Goals. The Scottish Premiership season will kick off on 1 August after receiving written approval from the Scottish government. The Scottish FA board is discussing an appropriate timeline for the phased lifting of its suspension for the other remaining three SPFL divisions.

The EFL say that the English teams might start their new season on 12 September this remains the most likely option so far. as they finish off this season.
