Over the past couple of seasons Birmingham City FC has been inundated with requests for player appearances.

The Club is committed to supporting local community organisations and events whenever practically possible through player appearances. However, due to the high number of requests we are unable to fulfil all of them.

Last season the club delivered over 70 player appearances.

Please read the Player Appearance Policy carefully before submitting your request:

PLAYER APPEARANCE POLICY
Only requests via the designated website request form, letters or emails will be considered. NO VERBAL REQUESTS WILL BE CONSIDERED.

Email requests should be sent to playerappearances@bcfc.com
Six week's notice is required (exceptions may be made depending on the event)
Particular attention will be paid to repeat requests
Requests will be assessed according to strict criteria regarding player availability
No appearances will be considered on matchdays, 48hours preceding a match, 24 hours after a game and on travel days.
There will be no appearances on players' days off (usually a Wednesday for a Saturday game), before 2pm on a training day, international breaks and pre-season
When considering appearance requests, we adhere to the criteria listed below:
No activities with the risk of injury
Purpose separate from player's attendance - we recommend that your event is NOT centred on a players appearance but serves as a compliment to the overall event.
If successful, the player name will be confirmed the week prior to the event; we are unable to confirm names any sooner as changes often occur.
Player appearances will not be successful if the organisation requesting conflicts with any of the club's official sponsors.
All player appearances are subject to change.
If an event has to be rescheduled and the original player can no longer attend, then an alternative player will be provided
A player committee made up of senior squad members will meet on a monthly basis to discuss requests
Translation/language issues will be taken into consideration, as will the location of the event
If any requests fall outside of the above criteria then you will be sent a response explaining why the request has been denied.
