ITCs - International Transfer Certificates

The Problem

For the question "Was Your Last Registration to an Affiliated Football (Soccer) Club in Australia?" you answered No.

This is likely to cause a 6-10 week delay waiting for an International Transfer Certificate (ITC) to be requested by Football Australia, via FIFA and to the governing body in the last country.  Then it has to come back, via FIFA, to Football Australia and finally to Football Victoria.  The system is designed to allow junior clubs to be compensated if a player goes on to become a high-earning professional footballer. 

The whole process can take months and your child is ineligible to play in matches until the ITC arrives.
