ITC Application

FIFA Regulations (Article 9.1 of the RSTP) dictate that players registered at one Association may only be registered at a new Association once the latter has received an International Transfer Certificate (ITC) from the former association.

This form must be completed by the applicant club. The FA will then seek the player’s ITC from the former association. The player should not register or play for a club in England until the ITC has been issued and this has been confirmed to you by the FA Player Status Team.

If the player is a Refugee/Asylum Seeker, please ensure the correct process within this form is followed.

In addition, FIFA Article 19 prohibits the international transfer of minor players (under 18) unless one of the following exceptions applies:

The player's parents move to the new country for reasons not linked to football
The player lives within 50km of a national border, and transfers to a club no more than 50km on the other side of that border (cumulative total of 100km)
The player is registering for the first time and has lived continuously for at least the last 5 years in the country in which they wish to be registered

Separate provisions are in place for Refugees/Asylum Seekers, as well as Exchange Students, whose applications continue to be considered by the relevant FIFA Sub-Committee.

This form must be completed by the applicant club only. Applications submitted by a parent/guardian or third party will be rejected.
