Friendlies & Tournaments
Friendlies
For a friendly, both teams must be affiliated with a County FA unless it is a charity match, then the team must contact West Riding FA to purchase the insurance required.
We understand that time is limited for many people, so we have set up a new process for clubs to see if the friendly can go ahead, quick and easy.
As both teams need to be affiliated to play in a friendly, the only check you need to do is use the 'find a club' search function below for your opposition.
- If the team comes up, then the friendly is satisfactory to go ahead.
- If the team does not show, then the match cannot be played as the team is not affiliated & insured.
