Connect Programme

22 April 2025


Dear User
We hope your year is progressing well! As we move through 2025, we want to acknowledge the important role you and your team play in maintaining high-quality data across FIFA’s player registration ecosystem. We’d like to thank you for your efforts!


Our Focus for 2025: Data Quality in FIFA Connect
One of our key initiatives this year is to enhance data quality throughout the FIFA Connect Program. High-quality data plays a crucial role in ensuring that football-related processes function seamlessly, especially when it comes to player registrations, identification, international transfers, and solidarity payments.


What is the new Data Quality Dashboard?
We’re excited to introduce the Data Quality Dashboard—a powerful new tool in the Connect ID Admin Console.
This dashboard helps you:
  • Proactively spot issues in player records linked to your Member Association
  • Review lists of FIFA IDs associated with various types of data inconsistencies
  • Understand how data issues may affect downstream processes, such as the Electronic Player Passport (EPP) and a club’s eligibility to receive training compensation or solidarity contributions


Access the dashboard here: FIFA Connect ID Admin Console Data Quality

What Needs to Be Done?
We kindly ask the relevant managers and developers of your National Registration System (NRS) to:
  1. Review the Data Quality Dashboard via the link above
  2. Investigate any flagged issues linked to your Member Association
Need Help?
No worries—we’re here to assist! Just send us a message at support.id@fifa.org, and we’ll be happy to guide you through the dashboard and help improve your data quality processes.
Thank you for your continued collaboration and support. Together, we’re building a more accurate and efficient global player data ecosystem.
 
Best regards,
FIFA Connect ID Team
