FAQs

Does Sports Accident Insurance only cover me for football?

We provide cover over 500 sports and activities and we split them into seven sports groups. Football (soccer) is in our sports group 6, which means you would also be covered for all sports in the same group and any lower groups. Please check our full list of sports activities here.

I play football on a professional level, can I get cover with you?

No, unfortunately our policies can not provide cover for professionals. A professional is any person who derives more than £5,000 income per calendar year from their participation in a sport or activity. Benefits received such as free or reduced-cost accommodation, entry fees or clothing are not considered to be income.

Also any person who has a contract of employment (paid or unpaid), a sports scholarship or where their full-time occupation is undertaking the sport / activity.

Can I take out football insurance if I have a medical condition?

Yes, medical conditions do not affect the premium. You will need to declare any medical conditions, injuries or treatment within the last two years and this is then referred to the underwriters who will assess any special terms.

Is there a maximum age restriction with your Football insurance?

You can purchase our football insurance online up until 74 years old, above this age you would need to call us on 01494 484800 and we will be able to refer your quote to our underwriters. Please note, our quotes are based on your age at the start date of cover.
