What is a transfer request?
A transfer request will be submitted when a player is currently registered to a club and wishes to register to a new club in the same competition. If the player is registering to a new club within a different competition, a transfer request will not be prompted.
Configuring transfers
Transfers can only be configured by an association. This can be done during the creation of a new competition, or this can be enabled for an existing competition by navigating to Competition Management, then choosing the relevant competition tile selecting the Settings tab and the General sub-tab.
Note: When activated, an Assocation can set the number of days a transfer will be approved if either a club or association do not manually approve the transfer request.
Who approves a transfer request?
Transfer requests must be approved by the following organisations in order for the player to register to their new club:
- The player’s current club.
- The association running the competition that the player is transferring within.
- The player’s new club.
Notification of Transfer Requests
To receive player transfer notifications that require your club or association's approval, your organisation must enable transfer notifications.
To do this, navigate to My Organisation then select Overview, and select the Notifications tab.
Populate the email address to which you'd like notifications to be sent, and then select the Transfers and/or Permits toggles to make these active.
Auto Approve Transfer Requests
Organisations have the ability to automatically approve transfer requests, which will enable the transfer to be processed immendiately instead of the number of days set when configured by the association.
To set up automatic approvals:
- From the menu, click Transfers and select the Settings tab.
- Select the toggle(s) for each transfer you wish to auto-approve
- Select Update & Save
The following rules are applied:
1. An association or admin body’s approval will be auto-approved if they are:
- the ‘Source Association’ and not the ‘Destination Association’ on the request and their organisation’s transfer ‘Outbound’ automatic approval setting is enabled; OR
- the ‘Destination Association’ and not the ‘Source Association’ on the request and their organisation’s transfer ‘Inbound’ automatic approval setting is enabled; OR
- both the ‘Source Association’ and ‘Destination Association’ on the request and their organisation’s transfer ‘Internal’ automatic approval setting is enabled.
2. A club’s approval will be auto-approved if they are:
- the ‘Source Club’ on the request and their organisation’s transfer ‘Outbound’ automatic approval setting is enabled; OR
- the ‘Destination Club’ on the request and their organisation’s transfer ‘Inbound’ automatic approval setting is enabled.
- A club/association’s auto-approval settings are based on their settings at the time when the transfer request is submitted.
