Status of Players: Amateur and Professional Players

1. Players participating in organised football are either amateurs or professionals. No other status shall be recognised.


2. A professional is a player who has a written contract with a club and is paid more for his footballing activity than the expenses he effectively incurs. All other players are considered to be amateurs.
