Affiliation
Affiliation Window Open from 5th june 2024
Lincolnshire FA can confirm the affiliation window for the 2024/25 season is open from 5th June 2024. To support clubs through the affiliation process for the 2024/25 season, see below for all the information needed to get you through this season’s Affiliation process, now via FA Club Portal.
Insurances
Clubs will still need to purchase their Personal Accident Insurance, which can be purchased through the Club Affiliation Process at a reduced rate from our insurance provider, Marsh Sport.
Public Liability Insurance must also be purchased, or if clubs already have Public Liability Insurance, they must upload proof of cover for the Affiliation period 2024/25 before any application can be approved.
Teams that require an increased level of cover, either through choice or due to playing at a higher step in the football pyramid, can upgrade their policy through the Marsh Sport website. Clubs who upgraded during the 23/24 season will be able to take their upgrade through the 24/25 affiliation application. All the levels will be included for you to choose the cover you require.
The mandatory adult upgrade requirements would be:
Step 2/3 teams would need to upgrade to a minimum of Superior 400
Step 4 teams would need to upgrade to a minimum of Superior 300
Step 5/6 teams would need to upgrade to a minimum of Superior 200

Club Portal

When the Affiliation window is open and you log into your Club Portal, you will see the Affiliation tab on the left-hand side. From here you can go through the affiliation process step by step. You can stop at any point during the application and pick it up later from the point you left when logging back in so don’t worry that it all must be done in one go. It is important that clubs complete each step as applications will have to be returned if incomplete.
Please note that team names used to affiliate MUST be the same ones that you give to your league.
