For the 2024/25 season, the FA will continue to use the Platform For Football (PFF), which was introduced last season to standardise the affiliation process across all County FAs.

As part of this standardisation, affiliation for the 2024/25 season will switch from a club fee to a team fee for all County FAs.

The affiliation fees for Liverpool FA for the 2024/25 season will be:

• £10 per youth team
• £30 per adult team

County Cups Entry Fees will remain the same, being £20 for Adult Teams and £15 for Youth Teams.

Although Liverpool County FA fees remain the lowest across the County FA network, we will continue to look at cost reduction options for all clubs and will release further details shortly.

Alongside our dedicated and passionate team at Liverpool FA, our aim remains constant; to support and continue improving grassroots football for everyone here on Merseyside. As part of this we will continue to use our Safeguarding Commitment Fund. This fund is to support clubs in fulfilling the new Safeguarding requirements, all U7-U18s team officials will be required to have complete the Safeguarding Children Course, for the upcoming season.
