Affiliation for 2020-21 Season

Liverpool County FA is delighted to announce that the affiliation window for clubs will open on 15 June 2020.

Liverpool County FA club affiliation for the 2020/21 season will be available from Monday 15 June 2020.

Access to this is through the Whole Game System all adult and youth clubs have to affiliate for next season and purchase Personal Accident Insurance through Bluefin Insurance for each team under their affiliation.

As promised, the Board have agreed to offer financial support to all clubs this season. The details of which can be found by clicking here

Also, we would like to advise clubs that this season we are to pilot multiple entries into County Cups in the Under-13 age category on a Saturday and Sunday.

To clarify, Liverpool County FA will not be charging all clubs their affiliation fee or County Cup entry fee (where relevant) for the 2020/21 season; therefore the only cost will be the purchase of the Public Liability Insurance, which is £25 (through the Whole Game System) plus the club’s individual Personal Accident Insurance policy (through the National Game Insurance Scheme) during the period of affiliation.

Can all clubs ensure that when completing information for their affiliation that they add all teams for the 2020/21 season. This includes Saturday, Sunday, Development, Disability and Futsal teams. Each team has to be added separately per age group - and also the correct league has to be aligned. It is mandatory that all adult teams enter the appropriate Liverpool County FA Cup competition. This also applies for U13, U16, U18, Youth Boys and U14 and U16 Youth Girls teams.

The club affiliation will not process if all safeguarding sections for youth clubs are not up to date. Please ensure that all coaches aligned to youth teams have an in-date FA DBS and the Secretary, Chairman, Treasurer and Welfare Officer also have all their relevant qualifications in-date. All of these roles require the Online Committee Safeguarding Qualification to be completed.

The affiliations will be processed throughout the summer. If you require help with any areas of the affiliation please contact us and we will assist you.
