Tournament Sanctions

Ensure your tournament is FA approved

A sanctioned tournament has ensured that all teams are affiliated, and therefore have the relevant insurances and safeguarding checks in place.

They are also authorised to use registered Lancashire FA match officials.

Tournament organisers and partaking teams should be aware that, by taking part in any unsanctioned tournament, the insurance of clubs and volunteers will be void in the event of any injury.

Likewise, any unsanctioned tournament cannot offer assurances that all coaches and volunteers have undergone the relevant safeguarding checks.

Match officials can face disciplinary action from their parent county FA should they take part in any unsanctioned tournaments.

Lancashire FA have put together an up-to-date Tournament Sanction Database:

Should you have any questions regarding these tournaments, or if you want to add a tournament to the database, then please email Timothy Tack.
