How do we appeal against a decision made by our league?
If your club disagrees with a decision made by your league (for example, on discipline, competition rules, or registration matters), you have the right to appeal.
Check the decision notice – the league must issue a written decision, including details of the charge or ruling.
Timeframe – appeals must usually be lodged within 14 days of the written decision being issued.
How to appeal:
Log into the Club Portal.
Go to Discipline > Appeals.
Select “League Decision Appeal” and complete the form.
Grounds for appeal – an appeal must be based on one of the recognised grounds (e.g., misapplication of rules, unfair process, disproportionate sanction).
Fee – an appeal fee may be payable. If the appeal is successful, this fee is refunded.
For further guidance, see the FA Handbook – Discipline & Appeals or contact support@staffordshirefa.com.
