Affiliates need to register their teams, officials and players every year. Registrations open from February each year. For more details, see the Administration and Communications Policy.
The following steps must be followed (not necessary in this order).
Registration of Teams
The Affiliation Form would have indicated which teams from your club will be registered for the ensuing year. During the Ordinary Congress, the Executive Committee will announce the Registration Fee for the year ahead, all of which are payable upfront, within 30 days after the Ordinary Congress. The registration fees per league will also include the Match Fees (Referees Fees), ensuring that through the season the facilitation of matches and the payment of Referees is seamless.
When paying the Registration Fees, also send the Proof of Payment to finances@plfa.org.za immediately. As far as possible, pay through Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) or via the ATM to reduce the cost of deposits when paying through the bank tellers.
Registration of Officials
It is compulsory for Affiliates, Associate Members and official Football Partners to Register the officials who will represent them within the Association to attend relevant official meeting of the association and receive information thereof. No unregistered Match Official will be allowed to officiate official matches of the association. Similarly, no unregistered Coach will be allowed to partake in an official match of the association.
