In order to be eligible to participate in the competition, players must be registered with UEFA within the requested deadlines to play for a club and fulfil all the conditions set out in the following provisions. Only players who are duly registered with UEFA by means of the list of 25 players can validly serve pending suspensions.

37.02

Each player must be duly registered with their national association as playing for the club concerned in accordance with the association’s own rules and those of FIFA, notably Annex 7 of the FIFA Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players.

37.03

Each player taking part in the competition must be in possession of a player’s registration licence issued by his association or a valid passport or identity card, each containing his photograph and giving full particulars of his date of birth (day, month, year). The referee or the UEFA match delegate may ask to see the passports/identity cards of the players listed on the match sheet.

All players must undergo a medical examination to the extent provided for by the UEFA Medical Regulations.

The club bears the legal consequences for fielding a player who is not named on the player list, or who is otherwise not eligible to play.

37.06

In the course of a season, a player is eligible to play only for one single futsal club in this competition. Exceptionally, if a player fulfils the two following conditions, he may play for another club which is also taking part in this season’s competition:

  1. The player has not been fielded for any UEFA Futsal Champions League matches by the first club in question. (The fact that his name may have appeared on a match sheet is taken to mean that he was fielded in the match.)

  2. The player concerned is eligible to play for the other club by the deadlines set in Paragraph 38.01, provided that he is registered with the UEFA administration in accordance with the aforementioned procedure.

37.07

The UEFA administration decides on questions of player eligibility. Challenged decisions are dealt with by the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body.
