The Finnish Cricket Association (FCA) is the governing body for all cricket played in Finland. To safeguard the image and reputation of the sport, the FCA has imposed a sanctioning regime for matches and competitions played in Finland.
In December 2024, the FCA Board has authorized the League Director Manoj Thavayogarajah to make decisions on sanctioning events.
For further information, please contact .
All matches and competitions that are not organised by the Finnish Cricket Association must be sanctioned by the FCA if the participants include FCA member clubs or players who possess a valid player license.
To sanction an event, the FCA generally requires the organiser to fulfil the following basic conditions:
Please submit your application through this form.
Organisers are requested to submit their sanctioning applications at least six weeks before the planned event.
Exception: Friendly domestic matches involving at least one FCA member club
If the match does not form a part of a larger competition, and both clubs are Finnish, the FCA Board has decided that the match is automatically sanctioned as approved cricket, provided that the following requirements are met:
All member clubs of the FCA must acquire a No-Objection Certificate if they wish to field a team in a match or competition
This requirement applies to matches and competitions played in Finland as well as abroad.
Please submit your application through this form
A licensed player must acquire a No-Objection Certificate if they want to participate in a match or competition
