MSSA REMINDS OF ITS CLOSING DATE FOR 2025/2026 CLUB TRANSFER WINDOW


Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) has confirmed that the official club transfer window for the 2025/2026 competitive season will close on 28 February 2026.

The transfer period, which opened on 1 November 2025, provides registered players with the opportunity to formally change their club affiliation ahead of the new competitive cycle. All transfer applications must be submitted and finalised before the closing date to ensure eligibility for provincial, national, and MSSA-sanctioned events during the 2025/2026 season.

In accordance with MSSA regulations:

  • Players may be registered with only one affiliated club at a time unless also registered with a school club.

  • A player remains the first-claim member of their current club until an official transfer is processed and recorded.

  • Participation in sanctioned events requires valid and current club registration.

The transfer deadline is critical to maintaining administrative accuracy, competitive fairness, and proper team selection processes across all MSSA disciplines, including board gaming, wargaming, esports, and other recognised mind sports.

Clubs are strongly encouraged to submit all required documentation well in advance of the closing date to avoid delays that could affect player eligibility. After 28 February 2025, transfers will not be permitted unless otherwise provided for under exceptional circumstances as outlined in MSSA regulations.

MSSA remains committed to structured governance and transparent administration to support the continued growth and professionalisation of mind sports in South Africa.

For further information, clubs and members are advised to consult official MSSA communication channels or contact the MSSA General Secretary.
