FIFA Clearance Types

In the event that players transfer from abroad, foreign players registering for the first time, whether minors or adults, may require special clearance, such as a FIFA International Transfer Certificate (ITC) or an approved minor exemption.

For example, FIFA prohibits the international transfers of minors, except in specific cases. These exceptions apply in cases where a player is a refugee, when parents relocate to another country for employment reasons, or in other similar situations. These exceptions are clearly outlined in the Clearance Types.

By incorporating this functionality into COMET, users can:

select a clearance type on a player registration in both, MyComet and COMET UI
see the clearance chosen type in the relevant COMET Data reports

Administration of Clearance types

Superusers can manage Clearance Types in the Admin application under the Registration menu.

Clearance Type on Player Registration Form

A "Clearance type" field with a dropdown menu is available as part of the player registration workflow, New Registration Wizard | Step-2:-Enter-Registration-Details in the MyCOMET UI.

If a clearance type is selected, the submitted registration will enter the international workflow, resulting in a status of 'SUBMITTED (INT)'. To find more details about the international workflow, please visit this link.
