💡 Note
MATCHi's integration with the Norwegian Sports Confederation (NIF)
For Norwegian sports teams and clubs to receive financial support for their members, these members must be connected to the Norwegian Sports Confederation (NIF). When reporting members to the Norwegian Sports Confederation, only NIF-integrated members are counted and not the total number of members in MATCHi.
Example
For example, let's say you have 100 members. Only 50 of these have a correct NIF connection. This would mean that you as a facility would only receive financial support for half of your members, even though you are entitled to support for all 100 members.
Therefore, it is crucial that you as a facility using MATCHi as a membership system ensure that members are correctly connected to NIF. It is not possible to manually adjust the member count afterwards, so it is important to have this connection in place well in advance.
Connect MATCHi users to NIF via Idrettens ID
Idrettens ID is players' personal login to digital services within Norwegian sports. The Sports Board has decided that all members within Norwegian sports must be verified through the Idrettens ID service to ensure accurate and reliable reporting. Therefore, MATCHi has created an integration with Idrettens ID so that your players can easily connect their MATCHi user to Idrettens ID. This way, they are automatically connected to NIF and are thus ready for the annual reporting.
What do you as a facility need to do?
Below you will find a step-by-step guide that we recommend sending to members, along with an encouragement to complete the registration. When a MATCHi user is connected to Idrettens ID, the NIF integration happens automatically. Simple and smooth!
