Aberdeen International Football Festival
Encyclopedia
The Aberdeen International Football Festival (AIFF) is a football (soccer) festival in Aberdeen
, Scotland
. The festival was launched in 1981. Over the years, the festival has become something of an institution in the city's calendar, bringing together, as it does, young people from a host of other countries, far and near, and the citizens of Aberdeen who turn up, whatever the weather, at Seaton Park
to witness and support this unique sporting occasion. Mindful of its motto, 'Football is Fun', the festival is as much concerned with promoting fun and friendship as it is about competing on the football field, although success in that area is also a worthy aim in the development of our adults of the future.
The winners of boys 16 was Celtic, and the winners of boys 14 was Motherwell. The winner of the girls' football competition was Aberdeen-East End.
