Tournament Sanctioning
COVID-19 IMPACTED EVENTS – Alberta Soccer Sanctioned Tournaments
As announced on March 13th, Canada Soccer has suspended all sanctioned soccer events and activities in Canada until further notice.
Please review the Additional Guidelines for tournament sanctioning requests during the Covid-19 pandemic. Alberta Soccer has developed a new set of guidelines to address requests for new events, renewals and re-schedules.
If you have any questions, please contact the Alberta Soccer office.
All invitational tournaments conducted in Alberta must be sanctioned. Having the appropriate sanctioning is crucial for both tournament organizers and participants as it provides a framework for standards of play (game format and rules), allows Alberta Soccer eligible referees to officiate games and provides insurance coverage for participating athletes and officials.
The Authority responsible for sanctioning your tournament depends on who is attending:
- Tournaments involving only teams of the same local district must be sanctioned by the corresponding Alberta Soccer Member District.
- Any tournament involving teams from outside the local District must be sanctioned by Alberta Soccer.
Please review the Alberta Soccer Tournament Sanctioning Guidelines prior to completing and submitting a request.
Forms:
- Tournament Sanctioning Application Form – For Alberta Soccer District, Member Association or Club
- Tournament Sanctioning Application Form – Independent or Charity (non-registered member of Alberta Soccer)
Non-registered members of Alberta Soccer: submit your tournament sanctioning request directly to Alberta Soccer
If you have any questions related to Tournament Sanctioning and Tournament Insurance, please contact the Competitions Coordinator.
