Social Media Posts

13 October 2022

Using Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat…

Most clubs and many teams have their own social media presence today – and it’s a great way to share what you are up to with friends, families, members, and those looking in to see whether you are the club or team for them.


But there are some very specific things that should not be posted by clubs, teams, or anyone involved with the club or team, including:


  • You must never publish a result for a development match – U7 to U11
  • Never criticise another team, player, or the match official(s)
  • Match photographs and videos need approval from both teams to be shared on social media
  • Post or host items which may be considered to be hurtful, insulting, offensive, abusive, threatening, racist or discriminatory or otherwise may cause offence or harm to another or might incite such behaviour in others.


Hampshire FA has a host of different resources to help clubs and teams make best use of Social Media which can be found here. The League do monitor content published and we will be in contact with clubs who breach social media guidance.
