Schools Fantasy League

Schools Fantasy League (SFL) is a fantasy football competition whereby teachers and pupils worldwide compete within their school to win trophies and medals. Last season over 115,000 boys and girls, of all ages and abilities, in over 2,200 schools, took part.

The game is a web based activity in which pupils (and staff and parents) pick their fantasy football team and score points through the football season depending on how well their players perform in real matches.

Registration for the 2007/08 SFL season is currently open until 20th October 2007.
