Prospective new Clubs looking to affiliate should contact a member of our Football Services Team on 01603 704050 or alternatively email Support@NorfolkFA.com and we will be happy to provide support and guidance to get your new Club up and running.

For the 2024-25 season, Clubs affiliate online using the Club Portal, removing the need to complete and post paper forms and also providing the ability to pay online by debit / credit card, although you can affiliate online but pay by cheque if you would prefer. The online system automatically rolls team details forward from one season to the next, minimising the amount of time required to complete the process. Clubs can also affiliate teams as and when they wish to do so rather than submitting all teams at the Club at the same point.

 

We hope that you will find affiliating online simple and straightforward, but should you require any support you can use any of the articles on the Grassroots Technology page.
 
If you have any questions on any aspect of the affiliation process, please do not hesitate to contact a member of the Football Services Team who will be only too happy to help you. 

 

Furthermore, this season you can also request "virtual" affiliation support by completing our
Club Affiliation Support Request form.
