An Overview of Fussballtransfers and Amateurfussball

Fussballtransfers may seem to an outsider as a task full of secrecy and conspiracy. In actual, fussballtransfers refer to the transfer or relocation of a football player under contract between professional clubs.

It involves the transferring of a player’s registration from one professional association football club to another. Generally, such transfer of football players can take place only during a transfer window and that too in compliance with the rules set by a governing body.

Transfer window is not essentially a window; it is an informal term often used for the concept of “registration period” as described in the FIFA Regulations on the status and transfer of player. Transfer window refers to the period during the year in which a football club can transfer players from other countries into their football teams.

In order to officially complete such transfer, the new player must be registered through FIFA. As per FIFA regulations, each national football association decides on the time (like dates) of the ‘window’, but the window should not exceed a period of 12 weeks. The second registration period occurs during the season and should not go beyond four weeks. Only international transfers can be regulated through the transfer window of a particular football association.

The international transfers that are out of an association are always possible for associations with an open window.Amateurfussball is a type of football in which the players mostly engage voluntarily without any kind of remuneration at all. The Amateurfussball combination is one of the biggest adult football leagues in Europe. It has about 100 clubs and 350 sides that play on Saturday afternoons in and around London and Home Counties from September to May.

In England, there is a county football association named Amateurfussball Alliance that was founded in 1907 as the Amateurfussball Defense Foundation and later changed to its present name. This foundation was set up at the time when amateurism was diminishing at an alarming rate. The aim of this foundation, as it were, was to save and promote the original amateur spirit of football. Since its inception, the foundation has been known for the fighting spirit of its leagues and the tradition of impartial play as well as sportsmanship.
