It's been a long wait for the younger players who first started training months ago.
And from Saturday they will be able to get out on the field and have plenty of fun.
The format of the game will remain the same but there are safety measures Highlands Soccer Association (HSA) is encouraging all players and spectators to adhere to.
HSA manager Michael Hamilton said players should try not to arrive earlier than 15 minutes before a game and should leave straight after the match to avoid large crowds.
Hamilton said the association would spread games out across venues in the area as well as at individual fields and have longer breaks between games.
"We've set it out as best we can. We just have to hope parents and supporters adhere to it."
Spectators will also be asked to fill out an attendance register which each club will keep as well as maintaining social distance at each match.
"It's more about the way people manage themselves. People just need to try and be sensible," Hamilton said.
The draw can be found on the Highlands Soccer Association website.
