EFAF International Transfer Cards
Introduction
Organisations affiliated to the European Federation of American Football (EFAF regulate the transfer of players by way of International Transfer Cards (ITC).
Players may not play in affiliated organisations until such time as all of the processes relating to ITC are carried out in their entirety. This Practice and Procedure endorses the EFAF Transfer Regulations and provides guidance on how player may be cleared by the EFAF and the federation the player previously held lisence to.

4. If an ITC is required they shall then consider whether it shall be for limited time (for example: expiring on the following 30 June) or unlimited (forever). For players on multiple season contracts, Clubs may consider that an unlimited version is more appropriate. It should be noted that some member associations have their own regulations regarding limited and unlimited ITC's.
