FIRST TIME USER:
Creating a GO Football Customer Profile

- After clicking “Save” just follow the prompts.
If you are UNDER 16 years of age
- Anyone under the age of 16 cannot have their own profile; they must be a Child on the profile of their parent or guardian.
- Therefore the parent/guardian must have a GO Football Customer Profile (they may never play, but they can still have a Profile).
- The Parent then adds you as a Child to their profile via the “Update my profile” button.
- Once you are added (as a child) to a profile, you can then be registered into any GO Football event that is suitable to your age group.
- A parent/guardian can add any number of children to their Profile; but they MUST be the Parent or the Guardian (not chidden of friends etc).
16 year old obtaining their own GO Football Customer Profile
- Please send us an email via the form at http://www.gofootball.com.au/contact
