Welcome to the official website of the Leeds & District Football Association

The Leeds & District Football Association (L&DFA) is the largest of the thirteen district football associations operating within West Yorkshire. Our district cup competitions are a long-standing and valued part of grassroots football in the Leeds and surrounding areas, offering clubs the opportunity to test themselves against teams from across the district in a competitive and well-organised environment. The Association’s district cup competitions operate with the full sanction and support of the West Riding County FA.

Established in 1901, the Leeds & District FA has played a central role in the organisation and development of grassroots football across Leeds and the surrounding areas. As a proud custodian of local football heritage, the Association serves as a vital link between local clubs and the County FA, supporting the growth of the game at every level.

The Association is responsible for delivering and administering a range of competitive football opportunities, including eight junior cup competitions and four open-age (senior) cup competitions, providing structured pathways for players of all ages to participate and progress in the game. We work closely with club secretaries, team managers, match officials, and volunteers to ensure our competitions are run to the highest standards.

Beyond competition management, the Leeds & District FA is committed to promoting values of sportsmanship, inclusivity, respect, and community engagement. We actively encourage the involvement of new volunteers, foster the development of referees, and support clubs in creating safe and enjoyable football environments.
