The Finnish Cricket Association (FCA) is the governing body for all cricket played in Finland. To safeguard the image and reputation of the sport, the FCA has imposed a sanctioning regime for matches and competitions played in Finland.
​
Playing in leagues organised by the FCA requires commitment from the players. The quality of gameplay suffers considerably if the best players are not available to play during the short outdoor season. To safeguard the quality of competitions organised by the FCA, the Board has imposed a requirement for all licensed players to acquire a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) if they want to play in matches or competitions that are not organised or sanctioned by the FCA. The NOC requirement applies to matches played in Finland as well as abroad.

The FCA Board has authorised the Technical Director to make decisions on sanctioning events and granting NOCs to clubs and players.


For further information, please contact sanctioning@cricketfinland.com.

Sanctioning matches and competitions organised in Finland

All matches and competitions that are not organised by the Finnish Cricket Association must be sanctioned by the FCA if the participants include FCA member clubs or players who possess a valid player license.
To sanction an event, the FCA generally requires the organiser to fulfil the following basic conditions:
  • The event is covered by a third party liability insurance
  • The organiser has taken appropriate measures to ensure the safety of the players and spectators
  • The organiser provides appropriate first aid during the event
  • All players acquire a license from the Finnish Cricket Association
  • The organiser delivers or makes available to the FCA immediately after the match or competition team lists, scorecards, and final standings from the match or competition
Please submit your application through this form.
Organisers are requested to submit their sanctioning applications at least six weeks before the planned event.

Exception: Friendly domestic matches involving at least one FCA member club
If the match does not form a part of a larger competition, and both clubs are Finnish, the FCA Board has decided that the match is automatically sanctioned as approved cricket, provided that the following requirements are met:
1) The match is between two Finnish clubs, at least one of which is a FCA member club
2) The match does not coincide with a league match for any participating member club
3) One participating member club notifies the FCA of the match in advance (using the form link above)

No-Objection Certificates for club participation in matches and competitions not organised or sanctioned by the FCA

All member clubs of the FCA must acquire a No-Objection Certificate if ​they wish to field a team in a match or competition 
1) not organised by the FCA, and
2) not sanctioned by the FCA.
This requirement applies to matches and competitions played in Finland as well as abroad.
Please submit your application through this form.

No-Objection Certificates for players to participate in matches and competitions not organised or sanctioned by the FCA

A licensed player must acquire a No-Objection Certificate if they want to participate in a match or competition
1) not organised by the FCA,
2) not sanctioned by the FCA, and
3) to which their club has not received a common No-Objection Certificate.
Please submit your application through this form.
