The Fiji Football Association mid-season transfer window will open on Monday, 19 January 2023.
Fiji FA Manager Player Registration and Licensing Rohitesh Narayan says the transfer window will provide an opportunity for clubs and players to make necessary adjustments to their teams during the ongoing season.
“The transfer window will open on 19th June and will close on 30th June 2023. This period will allow clubs to engage in player transfers or apply for ITC,” Narayan.
“Ensure all transfers and player registrations comply with the rules and regulations set by Fiji FA. We encourage all member associations to review and adhere to the established guidelines to maintain fairness and transparency throughout the transfer process.
“Member associations are requested to promptly communicate any transfers or player movements to our organisation’s Transfer and Registration Department. This will help maintain accurate records and ensure the smooth processing of transfers.
Narayan says It is essential to verify the eligibility of players being transferred, considering any restrictions, contractual obligations, or registration requirements set by our association.
“Any potential disputes or concerns regarding player eligibility should be reported to our association for resolution,” said Narayan.
“Any player who has already taken a transfer (Club/Regional) is not eligible to apply for transfer in this transfer period. Any player who applies for a transfer application will be rejected by the player registration & transfer department. The application fee paid will not be refunded.
“We emphasize the importance of transparent dealings during the transfer window. All member associations are required to maintain integrity, ethical conduct, and respect for the rights of players and clubs throughout the transfer process,” said Narayan.
Narayan says Fiji FA will only process the transfers upon receipt of appropriate documentation, i.e., original district transfer certificate duly approved and signed by the district President or Secretary accompanied by duly completed Fiji FA Player registration form signed by the player and the district.
“All applications for transfers must be submitted with an application fee of $50.00 without which the applications will not be considered. All necessary documents must be submitted within seven days of the application.
“The application fee of $50.00 is non-refundable, also it does not guarantee your application being approved. After checking the application, the player status committee and player transfer department will approve/reject documents.
“Players with contracts must seek district approval prior to application. Violation of transfer legislation will result in the player/club appearing before the player status committee,” said Narayan.
“Applications will not be considered if the documentation pertaining to the application is not received within seven days of the application.
