What is membership?

To participate in ANUFC activities you must be a member of the club. Membership is open to all.

There are two forms of membership:

Competitive Membership - this is for members who participate in Capital Football-sanctioned leagues.
Social Membership - this is for members who participate in social football activities organised by ANUFC.

How much does membership cost?

ANUFC membership fees for 2024 are as follows:

Competitive Membership

Students: $330 + processing fee.
Non-Students: $550 + processing fee.

Social Membership

Students: $50 + processing fee.
Non-Students: $205 + processing fee.

How do I register as a Social Member?

Registration for Social Membership (Social Football) is available to all at anytime of the year. Registration is done through the ANU Sport website here. This is also where you will pay the ANUFC Social Membership fee.

How do I register as a Competitive Member?

Registration for Competitive Membership (Capital Football Competitions) requires that you have been selected by the coach of an ANUFC team participating in Capital Football-sanctioned competitions, and asked by the coach to register. Team selections are usually finalised in March each calendar year.

The ANUFC Registrar will only approve registrations of players that are included in the final team list received from coaches. For some divisions, team selections continue up until the first round.

Registration as an ANUFC Competitive Member is done in two parts.

Registration with ANU Sport as an ANUFC member - This is done through the ANU Sport website here. This is also where you will pay the ANUFC Competitive Membership fee.
Registration with Capital Football as an ANUFC player - This is done through the PlayFootball website here. The fee associated with this registration is paid as part of the Competitive Membership Fee paid in part 1.

What do I need to register with Capital Football as an ANUFC player?

Registered Before (Domestic)

Personal Details
Student Number (if a student) and a photo of your student card
Credit Card (for registration fee)

Registered Before (International)

Some players may require an International Transfer Clearance. See below.

Never Played Before

A form of identification (typically a passport/drivers license)
A profile photo

What is an International Transfer Certificate (ITC)?

An International Transfer Clearance may be required for players who have registered to play for a club under a Football Association of another country.

Never Played with a Club Anywhere Before

During on-line registration process, system will ask country of birth and nationality and indicate ITC required.
Player will need to provide a copy of the picture id page of his passport to ANU FC who pass it to CF.
CF sends passport copy and player details to FFA, which sends them to other country FA.
Other country FA verifies player never registered there and clearance comes back via FFA, CF to ANU FC.

Played with Club in Own Country

During on-line registration process, system will ask country of birth and nationality and indicate ITC required.
Player prompted to enter name of previous club in home country - GET THIS RIGHT, not just approximately!
System automatically generates ITC request to FFA.
FFA sends ITC request to other country FA; FFA is very efficient at this.
Other country FA asks player’s club for clearance - this where your player can help by contacting club, telling them ITC request is coming and asking them to immediately approve it.
Clearance comes back via other country FA, FFA, CF to ANU FC

Played with a Club in Australia Previously

During on-line registration process, system will ask country of birth and nationality and indicate ITC required.
System also asks if previously played in Australia; if YES, system will drop ITC requirement.
Critical that player enters name used with previous Australian club - South American players often have a middle name and two surnames and previous Australian club may not have used correct surname.

Expect European and North American ITCs within a week, South American within a fortnight, other places it helps if you know someone in the home country FA or can get your home club to pester the national FA.

What is the Club Affiliation Fee?

Previously known as the ANU Sport Membership fee, the Club Affiliation Fee is a compulsory levy paid by all non-student members of sport clubs affiliated to the ANU Sport and Recreation Association (SRA). This fee is currently $130 per annum, and is payable at the same time as the membership fee of the specific sport club. This fee provides the following benefits:

discounted rates for members for the ANU Sport Fitness Centre and discounted access to facilities for personal use.
access for members to personal accident insurance through the ANU Sport insurance coverage.
access for a member's affiliated sport clubs to discounted use of sport and recreation facilities at the ANU for training and competition.
professional indemnity insurance to the executives of a member's affiliated sports clubs.

If you are a member of another ANU Sport affiliated club, or the ANU Sport Gym you paid this fee at the time of purchasing your membership. You will need to pay this fee again to the club, as we are charged this fee for every non-student member. However, you may request a refund through ANU Sport for the months you have overpaid on your SRA Membership.

Current ANU students DO NOT need to pay this fee to become a member of ANUFC as it is already covered through their tuition fees.
