Individual Club affiliation forms will be distributed at respective League AGMs. These are pre-populated with data supplied from 2008-09 to minimise the time required to complete them. Please make sure you highlight any changes or errors.
The completed forms should be returned to the GFA Office by 30 June 2009 in order to avoid a late affiliation fine being applied.
Youth Clubs
Youth Club affiliation forms will also be distributed at respective League AGMs. Please ensure the Teams List is fully completed so that every team is recorded. E.g. U10 A, B, C etc. This form is also available in "Related Documents".
The completed forms should be returned to the GFA Office by 30 June 2009 in order to avoid a late affiliation fine being applied.
NOTE - The FA now requires every Youth League and Club to appoint a qualified Welfare Officer. Each Welfare Officer is required to have completed an FA Criminal Record Bureau (CRB) check and have attended The FA's Safeguarding Children Course. These requirements are now mandatory and failure to meet these will result in affiliation not being accepted. Click on the 'FA Guide to Welfare Officers' link to find out more.
New Clubs
New Clubs should download the appropriate blank affiliation form from "Related Documents" and once complete return it to the GFA Office. Please note that new clubs need to contact Leagues in the county directly for respective membership and affiliation.

Adult Saturday Clubs
