Amateur FA Affiliation requirements for the 2024/25 season.

Affiliation will be completed via the Club Portal for the 24/25 season. The affiliation window opens on Monday June 10^th.

The deadline to affiliate is Friday 9th August. Applications after this date may be levied with a late fee (exemptions apply for university and other further education teams).

Club Secretaries will be able to complete affiliation on a per team basis, rather than having to affiliate the whole of the club in one go. This means the process will not be delayed for example, by the need to confirm qualifications for a coach of one particular team.

To get yourself and your club ready please familiarise yourself with what’s required by reading the below.

How to Prepare For Affiliation

-  Familiarise yourself with using the Club Portal to process your club admin (apart from processing discipline).
-  Create any new teams ready for when affiliation opens.
-  Ensure all outstanding invoices from this season are paid. You will not be able to complete your affiliation without these being paid.
-  Ensure all player suspensions from last season have been assigned fixtures (unless the suspension is carrying over to next season). If you need any help, please click here or contact discipline@amateur-fa.com. 
- Once you have finished your season, we strongly encourage all clubs to access their Club Portal and detach any players that are no longer part of your club.
