East Birmingham Schools Football Association (EBSFA) covers all schools football in the East district of Birmingham. Established in 1892, it was originally known as just Birmingham Schools Football Association (BSFA), missing the ‘East’ part from the official association name. This is due to the fact it was one of the original school football associations in the region and originally covered a larger area than East Birmingham. We have a long history in both schools and district football, dating back over 120 years!

In 2021 'East' was added to the start of our association name, making it easier for people to find us and associate us with the correct association. Our badge will be updated soon to reflect this.

We are also the parent association of East Birmingham Primary Schools Football Association (EBPSFA). The EBPSFA is part of our association, they organise and run all of the primary district football within our district.

For schools football, Birmingham is split into seven districts:

Aston and West Birmingham – Aston, Ladywood, Soho, Lozells, Handsworth, Perry Barr and Kingstanding

East Birmingham – Bordsley Green, Stechford, Yardley, Sheldon, Acocks Green and Shard End
