Player Registrations

Play Football 2025 Registration System

If you registered with any football club in Australia in 2019 -2024 you will already have a Play Football log-in which you will use again.
If this is your first year with the Play Football system, you will be prompted to create a Football Account prior to completing your/your child’s registration. Your account is created by using your email address or Google login.

Detailed information on registering is at the bottom of this page. Please refer to this prior to commencing your registration as Play Football have released a new version this year so the registration process will differ from previous years..

Payment of Player Registration Fees
Fees are to be paid online through Play Football at the time of registration by selecting the relevant package. Payment can be processed via VISA or MASTERCARD.
If you are unable to pay using this method please contact registrar@gufc.org.au prior to commencing the registration process to discuss other options including payment plans. Title your email “Alternative Payment Options Please”

Player Eligibility
To be eligible in Round 1 of the 2025 competition all players must be made “Active” in Play Football one week prior to the relevant competition start date. It will be the responsibility of each player/parent to ensure they have completed all actions to be made “Active”.

To be considered “Active”, the player registration payment must be received in full or registration with an approved payment plan must be completed.

Players not “Active” will not be able to compete until their registration is resolved. Coaches and Managers of all teams will be notified of eligible players prior to Round 1 commencing.

Performance teams: SAP, Pathways, National Premier League Women (NPLW), National Premier League Men (NPLM), and National Premier League Boys and Girls (NPLB and NPLG), are all performance teams/programs that were selected via a trial/selection process in late 2024. These players will be advised by a Performance Team coordinator regarding their registration process when it’s time to finalise their registration and make payment. If you have not been selected in a performance team, please do not select this registration package in the ‘Play Football’ system.

Note: you will need to register with GUFC before filling out this form and ensure any nominated friends are also registered so our Age Group Coordinators can take your request into consideration.

When registering a team, you must provide ALL of the information required including names, ages and FFA numbers of each team members. We cannot process your team registration without these details. Individual players in the team will still need to be registered via Play Football as they cannot be confirmed in a team until they are registered.

UNIFORMS

Our uniforms for community teams are being supplied by UMBRO. All MiniRoos and Community Juniors will receive a new UMBRO jersey. All our teams must wear the GUFC uniform in our club colours as passed by the GUFC Executive.

Community U8 – U18 players will be required to include their uniform shirt sizing at the time of registering as a player, failure to provide details may result in a player not having a uniform and therefore not being able to start the competition. If you are not prompted to provide a shirt size when registering please email details of the required size (select one only) to registrar@gufc.org.au so that we can update our records.

The Umbro sizing chart is provided below. Players will need to provide their own black shorts and black socks. Note: football boots (no metal studs) and shin pads are compulsory for all players.

Senior State League and Masters players are required to purchase their own uniforms. Your SSL/Masters coordinators will communicate with you directly.
Performance teams: NPLM, NPLW, NPLB, NPLG and Pathways uniforms are managed separately to registration. Information about the uniform kits for these players will be emailed directly before the start of season. Your kit will be revealed early in 2025 and will hopefully arrive in time for your season kick off. For enquiries, please contact your relevant NPL coordinator.
