Support

To create a first registration of a player, re-register a player, or transfer a player, please follow the guidance in our COMET Support guide.

First Registration – Refers to the registration of a player who has never been registered in Wales previously

Reregistration – Refers to the registration of a player who has previously been registered for your club

Transfer – Refers to the registration of a player who is currently or has previously been registered for a different club

ENTERED – This is the first stage of a COMET registration for a domestic registration. This initiates the registration / acts as a transfer request.

ENTERED(INT) – This is the first stage of a COMET registration for an international registration. This initiates the registration / acts as a transfer request.

SUBMITTED – This stage is reached once a signed registration form has been uploaded and you have clicked ‘Save as SUBMITTED’. This indicates that the registration has been delivered to the FAW for review.

SUBMITTED(INT) – This stage is reached once a signed registration form, and the necessary additional documents, have been uploaded for an international registration, and you have clicked ‘Save as SUBMITTED(INT)’. This indicates that the registration has been delivered to the FAW for review.

CONFIRMED – This stage is reached when the FAW have reviewed the submission and approved the registration. This is the end of the registration process.

TERMINATED – Indicates that the player’s registration has now ceased and they are no longer registered with the club.

TERMINATED(INT) – Indicates that the player’s registration has ceased and they have completed an international transfer out of Wales.

CANCELLED – Indicates that the registration process was not completed (either left at ENTERED status for 30 days, or cancelled manually).

We aim to register players within 48 hours of submission, providing the process has been followed correctly. However, this may take slightly longer during peak registration periods.

If the counter club fail to release the player or provide valid written objection to the release within the allocated time period under FAW Rule 80, the FAW can then step in to release the player on their behalf and confirm the transfer.

If we have rejected a transfer or returned it for correction, the club and player will receive an email including a Note, which will state the reason for rejection and what further action is required. This note will also appear on COMET, in the Notes section and/or status log of the registration.

When searching for an existing player on the Search Players page, you will firstly need to remove the organisation and your club name from the box titled ‘Registration’. By leaving these boxes blank, it will allow you to search for players outside of your club.

However, you can only find players outside of your club if you have at least one of the following details:

• Their COMET ID number
• Their Surname AND date of birth
• Their 6-digit FSI number from the previous FAW registration system.

If you cannot find the player you are searching for, it may be that the name or date of birth on their existing profile is incorrect. If you are sure the player has been registered in Wales previously, please raise a Help Ticket on COMET and we will be able to confirm if we have a record of this player. 

Due to the need for correspondence between national associations, the lead time for international registrations can vary depending on the circumstances. You can contact the FAW FSC for an update by raising a Help Ticket on the COMET system.

The required documents can vary depending on the circumstance of the registration. Once you submit an international registration, the FAW will return it with instructions for required action. Any additional documents required will be listed in these instructions. 

PENDING(INT) – Indicates that the FAW have received all the information they require from you, and the registration has been entered on the FIFA TMS System and the international registration process is underway.

Please raise a Help Ticket on COMET with your query and the FAW FSC will try their best to assist you. If your query requires specialist knowledge from the FAW Coach Education department, the FSC will be happy to point you in the right direction.

If your coach registration is on PENDING status, this means that any required qualifications have been checked and the registration has now been sent to the FAW Safeguarding department for the coach’s DBS to be reviewed.

Coach and staff registrations are for matchday related roles (e.g. coach, physio), whereas official registrations are for off-field club roles (e.g. secretary, treasurer). Please see our COMET Support guide for more information on coach, staff and official registrations.

If your player is appearing in red when you try to add them to a line-up, this means they currently have an active sanction which is preventing them from being selected. 

If the player doesn’t appear at all in your available list of players for a fixture, it is likely that this player has not either been added to your roster, or they don’t fit the age / gender parameters of the competition. If you are unsure of why your player can’t be selected, please raise a Help Ticket on COMET.

Please see our COMET Support guide for assistance in completing matchday management duties such as entering line-ups a match events and using the match timer.

If for whatever reason you were unable to add your match events before the match was moved to PLAYED, you will be unable to add them in yourself. In this case, please contact your competition manager who will be able to add the events or make any necessary changes for you.
