Hosting a tournament or festival?


All football competitions require sanctioning to ensure the correct insurance, safeguarding and discipline procedures are present to protect the organisers, coaches, players and officials.


If you are hosting a tournament or festival, please ensure this is sanctioned through visiting our Competitions and Tournaments page on the following link https://www.sheffieldfa.com/cups-and-competitions/competitions-and-tournaments


This page has all you need to sanction your tournament or festival with the simple process clearly outline and sanctioning form available to download, complete and submit to [email protected] Also on this page there is a fantastic Tournament Guide to help you plan an run your competition successfully.


Once you have completed the sanctioning form, along with submitting your competition rules to the CFA, a staff member will review and confirm your competition sanctioning and provide your club or organisation with a small sanctioning fee to pay. Once paid your competition will be sanctioned and listed on our webpage and socials. 


If you have any questions or would like to discuss the sanctioning process further please contact [email protected]
