Features described will be publicly available in 2026
All Official FIFA registrations have a start and end date which is based on the NZF Season:
Football: 1st January - 31st December

If a player wishes to be released from their existing club early, and request early termination, a termination request can be made by:
-
Registering with their new club. When the newly joining club requests for player approval, an early termination request can be automatically sent to the players previously registered club.
- Contacting their existing club – Upon receipt of termination request, the club can manually terminate the registration.
Joining Club Termination Request
This process applies if a player wishes to join a new club whilst the season is still underway, or if the player has had a Red Flag applied to their record at thier previously registered club.
An error message will display when the player registration is attempted to be made Active indicating a red flag or active registration is preventing the registration from being approved.
If Request Termination is selected, a confirmation message is displayed. The player record in the Joining club will display a status of “TermPending” whilst the termination request is processing.
The request for player termination will generate an email to the administrator of the Club that red-flagged the player or has the player registered as an Active player in the current season.
The Player Termination request email will contain details of the player that has requested Termination, and the club the player is moving to. The email will contain a magic link that allows the club administrator to Approve or Decline the Termination request. If the player has been red-flagged, the reason for the red flag will also display.
The Club Administrator from the departing club can click the View Registration hyperlink in the email to Approve or Decline the Termination Request. If the termination request is not actioned within 7 days, the request will be automatically approved.
Click the Approve or Decline option to respond to the termination request. If the Termination Request is declined, a reason will need to provided eg: Still owing fees.
Approved or Declined Termination responses will send a confirmation email to the old club, new club (if applicable) and the player involved in the process.
When a club administrator approves a termination request (departing club), the red flag will be removed from the player registration if one exists, and the status of the player will be reverted from Active to Inactive.
The joining club registration record will update from TermPending to Active.
A player can have a termination request made multiple times within a season, each time generating the Termination request email to facilitate a time-frame for the player to make payment/return equipment.
