Locating the dismissal you want to appeal
To display all the 'Red & Yellow Cards' associated with your club you click 'Discipline' from the side menu. Select the red card you want to appeal from the list.
PLEASE NOTE: If the card you want to appeal is not on PFF you must email JudicialServices@TheFA.com to notify them of your claim before the applicable deadline. Please refer to The FA Handbook for the applicable deadlines.
Notifying the claims and starting the submission process
A countdown to the deadline to notify The FA of a claim will be displayed in the case. In order to notify The FA that a claim or claims will be made select 'Submit Claim'.
You will be asked to confirm which claims you are lodging and confirmation of the fee should your claims be unsuccessful will be displayed.
All selected claims will be displayed and each claim can be withdrawn individually if required.
Providing the evidence
You can now drag & drop your evidence for your claims into the 'Claim Evidence' window. All the evidence for each claim should be uploaded here. If one of your claims is Mistaken Identity you will also need to identify the player the offence should be transferred to. A timer is displayed counting down to the deadline to submit your evidence.
All uploaded evidence can be downloaded, deleted or the file name's edited prior to submission.
Submitting the claims
Once you are satisfied that all the evidence you wish to submit in support of the claims has been uploaded and is listed in the 'Uploaded Evidence' section, you can submit your claims to the Judicial Services department at The FA by clicking 'Submit Claim Evidence'.
You will be asked to confirm that your claims are ready for submission to The FA.
If submitted correctly the status of each claim will display 'Pending Resolution'.
The decisions
Once the claims have been determined by a Regulatory Commission the claims' status will reflect whether it has been 'Upheld' or 'Dismissed' and the details of the Regulatory Commission will be displayed. A decision letter will also be available to download.
