Sheffield Wednesday are regularly inundated with requests for player appearances.

The club is committed to supporting community events and charities in the region and will facilitate player appearances whenever practically possible.

Unfortunately, due to the volume received, we are unable to fulfil all requests.

As a result, please ensure you read our Player Appearance Policy below before submitting your request and maximising your chances of success. Failure to do so will automatically mean your request is denied.

CRITERIA

• Only requests via the designed player appearance form, letter or email will be considered. Verbal requests will NOT be taken into consideration

• Four weeks' notice is essentially required to facilitate a player request

• No appearances will be considered on matchdays, 24 hours preceding a match, 24 hours after a game or on team travel days

• No appearances will be considered while players are on annual leave (from the date of the last game of the season until they return for pre-season training)

• Players will only attend events within a 10-mile radius of Hillsborough Stadium and with a maximum duration of 1.5 hours.

• There will be no appearances before 1.30pm on a training day

• Players cannot take part in any activities with risk of injury

• The event must NOT be centred on the player's attendance and must have a separate purpose

If your request is successful, the name of the attending player will be confirmed at least one week prior to the event. We are often unable to confirm names any sooner as changes can occur.

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 where possible.

Contact will be made with the event organiser and a brief prepared regarding the purpose of the appearance to ensure the player is fully aware of his role.

If any requests fall outside of the above criteria then you will be sent a response explaining why the request has been declined.
