The West Highland Amateur Football Association (WHAFA) is a football association for amateur clubs in Skye, Lochalsh and Lochaber in the Scottish Highlands. The association is affiliated to the Scottish Amateur Football Association. Member clubs take part in a summer league as well as a number of domestic cups and the Highland Amateur Cup.[2] Currently, the association is composed of a single division of eight clubs, although numbers of clubs and divisions have varied over the years.
Between 2005 and 2022, the association was known as the Skye and Lochalsh AFA. It reverted to its former name of West Highland AFA at the 2023 AGM to reflect on the widening catchment area of the league with the inclusions of Mallaig in 2018 and Fort William Reserves in 2023.[3]
2023 member clubs[edit]
- Fort William Reserve
- Kyle
- Kyleakin
- Mallaig
