PREMIER LEAGUE

APPENDIX 3
AFTER THE TOUR
19. The Tours Co-ordinator must notify the Premier League in Form T9 no later than 7 days after a Tour of
the names of all registered Academy Players, contract players, trialists, and Staff who went on the Tour.
FOREIGN TOURS – ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Tour matches played against foreign clubs
20.1 Except in the case of matches against clubs in membership of the Scottish, Welsh or Irish Football
Associations, Clubs wishing to play a match or series of matches against members of another national
association must comply with Football Association Rule B4(b). This requires them to apply on the
prescribed forms to the Association at least 28 days before the intended match or the first of a series
of matches.
20.2 So that the Premier League may be aware of Tours that Clubs intend to undertake, on making a Rule
B4(b) application to the Football Association Clubs must send a copy of the prescribed application
form to the League.
Risk Assessment
20.3 In addition to the risk assessment carried out in Form T2, the Tour Leader should obtain the advice of
the Premier League Youth Department who may have relevant information on foreign clubs and venues.
Foreign Tour organisers should be asked whether and if so to what extent adults having direct contact
with children on the Tour have been screened in respect of their suitability for that purpose.
European Health Insurance Card – Free or reduced cost medical treatment
20.4 The European Health Insurance Card (“EHIC”) is the certificate of entitlement to free or reduced cost
emergency medical treatment for EU nationals in most European countries. It replaced Form E111
with effect from 1 January 2006. For Tours to those countries, an EHIC for each Academy Player should
be carried by the Tour Leader.
20.5 Each member of Staff should also carry his/her own EHIC.
Notes:
• Further information about EHICs (including as to each country’s different rules about state
medical provision) and application forms can be obtained from www.dh.gov.uk/policyand
guidance/healthadvicefortravellers.
• Application forms can also be obtained from Post Offices and applications can also be made by
phone (tel. no. 0845 606 2030). EHICs will be delivered within 7 days (if the application is made on
line), 10 days (if the application is made by phone) or 21 days (if the application is made by post).
• Parents or guardians must apply on behalf of any children aged 15 or younger.
• For ease of administration, Academy Managers should ask Parents of all Academy Players likely to
travel on a foreign Tour to obtain and return an EHIC for the Academy to issue to the Tour Leader for
the duration of the particular Tour.
