FIFA Connect Support and FCMS Support

This information is to provide Member Associations an overview of registrations status types. This information may be used to determine the current status of a member, or to determine detailed registration history of a member, or assist in building reports.

Registration Status is automatically updated by FIFA Connect. There is no need to update the status manually. For further details on Manual Status Change please refer to Status Change - Manual. In all cases, a person should at some stage always have at least one 'Passive' or 'Active' Status for each role.

Person Status Types

There are 3 main Person Status types, these are:

• In Progress - indicates a person’s first registration has been saved, is incomplete and has yet to be submitted for approved. These persons can be found under 'Incomplete Registrations'.
• Pending - indicates a person’s first registration has been submitted and requires to be reviewed by the approving entity.
• Registered - once a person’s first registration has been approved, the person status is updated to, and remains as, ‘Registered’. An MA ID is applied.

Other Person Status types:

• Suspended - Used for Long Term Suspensions (more than 12 months). No Registration activity possible is if the Person Status is marked as Suspended. Please advise us via a Freshdesk Ticket if a Person's record needs to be marked as Suspended. To be marked as Suspended, the person should have no 'Pending' or 'On Hold' registrations, incomplete 'Requests', or be on Loan.
• Deceased - Used for Deceased persons. Please advise us via a Freshdesk Ticket if a Person's record needs to be marked as Deceased.

Registration Status Types

• Active - indicates the registration has been approved and is fully registered for the current season. A player can only have one Active registration per sport.
• Deleted - indicates the registration has been deleted. This can only be done as a manual change by the association. Deleted registrations are not visible on the Registration History.
• In Progress - indicates the registration has been saved, is incomplete and has yet to be submitted for approved. These registrations can be found under 'Incomplete Registrations'. When an Admin User is drilled down, the incomplete registrations are saved at the Organisation Level they have drilled down from, not the Organisation Level they are drilled down to. The Organisation Level that commenced the registration, is the only Organisation Level that can 'View and Resume' (or Delete) the incomplete registration.
• On hold - indicates the registration has been placed on hold and is requiring to be resolved by either the club or the Self Reg user.
• Passive - indicates the registration has previously been 'Active' in a previously season. A person can only have one Passive record per role (excluding Player Loan Registration Type).
• Pending - indicates the registration has been submitted and requires to be reviewed by the approving entity. This is also used for Loans that have yet to commence (see example below).
• Rejected - indicates the registration has been submitted, and reviewed by the approving entity, but was not approved.
• Rolled over/Renewed - indicates the registration has been renewed.
• Transferred - indicates the registration has Transferred to another club.
• Transferred Out (International) - indicates the registration/person has transferred to another country. These registrations can only exist at the International Transfer Holding Club.
• Transferred Return (International) - indicates the registration/person has returned from another country, after being Transferred Out.

Status Types - Loans

• Active - indicates the player is currently on loan. This registration status is used at the borrowing club.
• Passive - (at the lending club) indicates the player is currently on loan.
• Passive - (at the borrowing club) indicates the loan has yet to commence or has concluded (or was canceled).

Status Type - Self Reg Users

• In Progress - indicates that a registration was not completed. These registrations are not able to be resumed.

MA ID Allocation

MA IDs are allocated to persons after their first registration is approved and made Active.

Searching 

When searching for people using 'Search', search results only return registration records that include either a status of 'Active', 'Passive' or 'Transferred'.

If a registration record is modified to not include at least one status of 'Active', 'Passive' or 'Transferred',  no search results will be listed.
