Released the new Single Sign‑On (SSO) experience between Football Account and PlayFootball, including:
The existing participant sign‑in page has been decommissioned. Existing sign‑in links will automatically redirect users to the standard football account sign‑in experience
A PlayFootball splash screen is now displayed for 3 seconds before the sign‑in page when users access PlayFootball sign‑in links, helping them understand they are signing in to PlayFootball.
Existing PlayFootball links, Club Finder links, product links, and registration links will continue to work as normal. If sign‑in is required, users will be redirected to standard football account sign‑in and then returned to their original destination within PlayFootball.
Signing in to PlayFootball will automatically sign the user into Football Account, and users who are already signed in to Football Account will automatically be signed in to PlayFootball, removing the need to sign in multiple times
Signing out of PlayFootball will also sign the user out of Football Account, and signing out of Football Account will sign the user out of PlayFootball.
The Admin sign‑in experience remains largely unchanged, apart from the removal of the “Not an Admin?” link. The Admin domain has also been updated, with existing links automatically redirecting to the new domain.
