Club Affiliation

Affiliation is the process by which clubs “register” with their County Football Association, allowing them to play affiliated football for the new season. It involves telling the county which teams you’ll be running, as well as the key officers and team officials involved in running your club.

Why should I affiliate?

Affiliation acts as a quality assurance and as a safety net to help protect players, clubs, officials and administrators throughout the game.

Benefits include:

Being legally affiliated to the Sheffield & Hallamshire County FA; the second-oldest football governing body after the Football Association (FA).
Contacts with all local leagues, clubs and players
Promotion via our website and links
Eligibility to compete in County FA competitions (e.g. County Cups)
