Participation rules
All FMF affiliated member nations are invited to enter teams to participate in FMF and Confederational club competitions at the start of each year. The deadline for submissions will be indicated by the FMF, but is usually earmarked for late September.
For the FMF Champions' League, teams are invited based on strict criterea. Firstly, places are awarded by the FMF League coefficient ranking, with nations ranked 1–10 receiving two places, and nations ranked 11–17 receiving one place. Additional places are also granted for the winners of the previous season's FMF, AEFA, CTFA, EMUFA and WMFA Champions League winners. Should any team receive a place through both a CL holder and a domestic place, their second place will be awarded to the winner of the domestic league next highest in the FMF League coefficient table that does not currently have representation in the FMF Champions' League. All domestic vacancies are awarded to the domestic league winner of the country in question, with the runner-up also gaining a qualification space in associations that qualify for a second representative.
For the Regional Champions' League competitions (the AEFA Champions' League, CTFA Champions' League, EMUFA Champions' League and WMFA Champions' League), all nations are allowed to invited three further clubs to participate. The priority of entry is given as such;
- Domestic league champions (if not participating in FMF Champions' League)
- Domestic cup champions (if applicable)
- Domestic league highest finisher not already qualified
- Domestic cup runner-up (only if domestic cup champions were already qualified as league champions or through FMF Champions' League)
- Domestic secondary cup champions (if applicable)
- Domestic league highest finisher not already qualified
Furthermore, nations who are members of the FMF, but whose clubs sides are integrated into the league system of another country (for example, Lamantia, whose clubs sides play in the Senyan league system), are allocated only one position, which is filled up either by the best placed side of that nationality in the league system, or, where applicable, a cup winner. Teams from said association will only be able to qualify for the regional Champions' League competitions through their own association's criterea, with the exception of the FMF Champions' League. If one such team qualifies for the FMF Champions' League, the next best placed league team, or domestic cup runner-up, will be awarded the spare space in the regional Champions' League.
All participating teams must play their home games in the stadium they use for their domestic league games, should that stadium meet FMF guidelines. Any stadium used must have a minimum capacity of 3,000, with a minimum of 500, or 5% of capacity (whichever figure is higher) designated for the exclusive use of away supporters. The stadium must be able to sell tickets, provide adequate toilet facilities, must provide places to sell food and drink and clubs must adequately police or steward their stadiums. Standing sections are permitted so long as they meet FMF safety requirements. Teams must also have a fully equipped ambulance (or medical car) and fire crew on standby. Any change of venue will only be considered under the following situations;
- The home stadium does not meet FMF standards.
- Travel to said venue is not possible within a reasonable timescale for an international fixture.
- It is impossible for the home club to guarantee adequate safety to spectators, players, officials or the visiting team.
The FMF may consider a ban on away fans for a particular fixture, only if the match is at a high risk for violence, or if two nations are particularly hostile, and only if the situation is applicable for both legs.
Whilst participating in FMF competitions, teams will be limited to playing with just one sponsor on their shirt, in addition to the kit manufacturer's logo. Teams sponsor rules must also respect the rules of the host country of a game should advertisement of certain products be prohibited.
The FMF executive limits tournaments to a maximum of 32 participating teams, with smaller tournaments allowed should they meet 4, 8, 12, 16 or 24 participants. The re-establishment of a regional Cup competition may be accepted if a confederation's Champions' League tournament is oversubscribed. To faciliate this, some nations in qualification positions will be removed to ensure that a fair tournament size is met. Teams who rank the lowest in the entry sheet, and those from smaller nations, will be considered for removal first.
