Providing Online Consent

From the 2021-22 season all players registered with affiliated leagues need to be registered through The Football Associations whole game system – a centralised database of all players, parents, and volunteers. Each individual will be provided with a FAN number which keeps track of every individuals playing history, disciplinary record, and qualifications. This means that every player across the country now has a FAN number. Every player will be required to provide online consent for the club/(s) they wish to play for, with parents of players under 16 providing consent on their behalf. In the latter case parents are required to setup their own account and link the two together. This process is relatively straightforward for the majority of cases and can be achieved by following the steps detailed below.

Providing Online Consent for Players Over 16

Players over 16 should use the following link to setup their own FAN account and provide consent themselves.
