License management pulls every player license and exemption into a single place. Your federation issues and maintains licenses for all clubs, runs exemptions through a clear approval flow, and sees in real time which licenses are valid, close to expiring or missing — no spreadsheets, no manual lists.
01Central license register
Every club license in one register
Your federation issues and maintains player licenses from one central register, so there's no need to stitch together details from each individual club. Every license is tied to the right player and club, and its status refreshes automatically the moment anything changes.
You can see at a glance which clubs have their licenses under control and where the gaps are — so you can follow up in good time instead of only noticing on match day.
- Licenses are created and managed centrally
- Linked to player and club — always up to date

02Exemptions
Exemptions with clear approval
Clubs request exemptions — say, when a younger player needs to compete on an older team — right inside the system, and your federation approves or declines each one with a complete history. It all lives in one place, so you can always tell what's been requested, approved and currently valid.
Exemptions are tied to the player's license, so the status stays accurate — for the federation, the club and on match day.
- Clubs apply for exemptions directly in the system
- Approve or reject with a full history
- Linked to the player's license and status

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can the federation manage licenses for all clubs?
Yes. The federation creates and manages player licenses centrally for all clubs, linked to the right player and club — with a status that updates automatically.
How do exemptions work?
Clubs apply for exemptions directly in the system, and the federation approves or rejects them with a full history. The exemption is linked to the player's license, so the status is always correct.
Can we see where licenses are about to expire?
Yes. You get a live overview of valid, expired and missing licenses per club and player, so you can follow up in good time before they expire.
Can clubs see their own licenses too?
Yes. Clubs have access to their own licenses and exemptions, while the federation has the complete overview of all clubs — the same data, in one place.
Do clubs have to learn a new system?
No. License management builds on the SportMember platform that clubs already use — so there's no extra system to learn.
