No-Objection Certificate

Playing in leagues organised by the FCA requires commitment from the players. The quality of gameplay suffers considerably if the best players are not available to play during the short outdoor season. To safeguard the quality of competitions organised by the FCA, the Board has imposed a requirement for all licensed players to acquire a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) if they want to play in matches or competitions that are not organised or sanctioned by the FCA. The NOC requirement applies to matches played in Finland as well as abroad.

No-Objection Certificates for club participation in matches and competitions not organised or sanctioned by the FCA

All member clubs of the FCA must acquire a No-Objection Certificate if they wish to field a team in a match or competition

not organised by the FCA, and
not sanctioned by the FCA.

This requirement applies to matches and competitions played in Finland as well as abroad.

No-Objection Certificates for players not residing in Finland to participate in competitions organised or sanctioned by the FCA

All member clubs of the FCA must submit a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) to the League Organisation if they wish to field a player who is not residing in Finland. NOC must be provided as an official document from the home national federation, ideally at least 1 week before any participation can be approved.

Any such player also must purchase a suitable Suomisport license (license platform hosted by Finnish Olymic Committe) at least 2 days before participating in competitions to be eligible to participate. Personal accident insurance is not included in the Suomisport license, but can be purchased on the same platform when required.
