Registration Period

THE Irish Football Association has confirmed the registration period for signing new players…

The registration period for signing new players in the professional game in Northern Ireland will begin on 1 August and end on 5 October, the Irish FA’s Football Committee has confirmed.

The move comes after the UEFA Executive Committee called on all member associations to adopt a harmonised end date to the summer transfer window this year, and the date set was 5 October.

The association’s football committee has also revealed details regarding the mid-season registration period will be confirmed in due course.

And it has further agreed that re-registration for amateur players who participate in leagues bound by the Professional Game Player Registration Regulations can now begin.

This functionality will be available up until 31 July. If a player has not been selected for re-registration by this date the player’s registration will be terminated.
