EBFA -
Appendix O – EBFA and The English Football
Association/FIFA International Clearance Requirements.
FIFA/English Football
Association International Clearance for Players
If you want register a player over
the age of 10 that has previously been registered for a club abroad
(including the other Home Associations- Scotland, Wales & Northern
Ireland), or who is a foreign
national seeking to register in England for the first time, they must
first receive international clearance or except to international
clearance from English Football Association and/or FIFA.
International
clearance is applicable at all levels of the game and it is the club's
responsibility to perform ITC Due Diligence to find out from the
parents/guardians of the player, as to whether clearance
may or may not be required, or has been granted or ITC exception
granted.
Players that have registered, as a registration in England for the first
time for a Club, without that Club performing the appropriate ITC Due
Diligence with the English Football Association,
does not mean the player has the rights to register for
other English Club without the new Club performing the appropriate ITC
Due Diligence or requesting parents/guardians seek a copy of the
previous Club's ITC Due Diligence.
The League is ensuring that it's member Clubs has completed
their ITC Due Diligence for players registering with their Club.
