Morocco in Band 5? Norway in Band 3? How might I change the GBE Bandings?
I've always really wanted to have a good look at the bandings, are they fit for purpose?
The GBE Bandings are one of the most important aspects of the post-Brexit football recruitment regulations.
For those unfamiliar with the bandings, the FA and Home Office have agreed on six bandings in the men's game and three in the women's game, and each of these bandings are key for deciding how many points a player will get towards their GBE application.
The men's and women's games are also different on how many GBE points are actually required to be successful in getting a work permit. The men's game has a threshold of 15 points, whilst the women's game’s threshold is 24 points. However, it is important to note that this doesn't mean it is more difficult to get a GBE in the women's game, it is just that the criteria are weighted very differently.
