5) FIFA International Clearance of Players

MAKE SURE YOUR PLAYERS ARE ELIGIBLE TO PLAY...

International clearance is required by all players moving across borders to play football. It applies to all players of 10 years of age and over.

Please be vigilant when registering players. If you think they have played abroad they will need clearance back before they can play in England.

(The term "abroad" even applies to Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland)

Make sure you ask your players if they have played outside of England before you register them. If they have you will need to contact The FA Registrations Department. They will do their utmost to get the player cleared for you as soon as possible.
Please note: it is not always possible to get clearances immediately.

The FA has to deal with dozens of foreign Associations and sometimes the process is slow. Please also remember the time differences in some countries, especially America and Australia.

Clubs and players may be required to complete an application form which is available from The FA Registrations' Department or online. A separate form is also required for applications from the United States.

Clubs seeking International Clearance should make a request in writing to The FA Registrations Department (details below).

Full details about international clearance including different categories of players can be found on the FA website via the link below

6) Whole Game System (WGS) - Football Association - Player Registration  System (FA-PRS)

         Clubs are also required by the Football Association to register their players to a team on Whole Game System (WGS) FA Player Registration system (FA-PRS).

 Clubs/Teams must then submit the WGS player registration to the League on the WGS so the EBFA League can approve the registration

 

 Then EBFA will check the player has completed the full registered process on GotFootball and will then approve the player on WGS. On Approval EBFA will update the GotFootball Player Registration record with an update to the start of the Player Jersey number with 

                       “Q-“, which means the player can play in EBFA 22/23 matches.  

                        If the players has “N-“, in the jersey field, then player has not completed GotFootball player registrations and cannot play in EBFA 22/23 matches.

                        If the players has “R-“ at the start of the Jersey field, then player played last season 21/22, but has not  for 22/23 season has no WGS record submitted and cannot play in EBFA 22/23 matches.

                        If the player has “N-F“, in the jersey field, then player has not completed GotFootball player registrations and cannot play in EBFA 22/23 matches, as the “F” indicates that the players WGS FAN number has not been entered into the GotFootball Player registration record.
