FUFA has unveiled the Club Licensing Core Process and timelines for the 2026/27 season, outlining the requirements clubs must fulfill before participating in its competitions.
The move is part of FUFA’s continued efforts to professionalize football administration and ensure clubs meet minimum standards in governance, finance, infrastructure, legal compliance, and sporting criteria.
Club licensing has become a key requirement for participation in FUFA competitions and aligns with continental standards set by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
FUFA has circulated key documents to clubs, including the FUFA Men’s Club Licensing Regulations Edition 2026, FUFA Women’s Club Licensing Regulations Edition 2026, FUFA Stadium Classification Regulations Edition 2026, Club Licensing Timelines, and Club Licensing Forms for the 2026/27 season.
Ahmed Hussein, FUFA’s Director of Communications, said the licensing process is intended to strengthen club structures and improve the overall standard of football administration in the country.
