Renewals

England Football Accreditation Renewals

Thank you for being an England Football Accredited Club!

You are required to renew your accreditation via the Club Portal Dashboard from November 1st 2023 to March 10th 2024. This was formerly known as an Annual Health Check.

If you need any support with renewals, please contact us with any questions. Failure to complete renewals will result in accreditation being removed. 

To help you with your renewals we have prepared a Renewals Guide here, along with all the information on this webpage.
