‘조인KFA 앱’은 국내 축구대회 관리·기록 및 선수등록을 담당하는 어플리케이션으로 현재 PC홈페이지, 종이서류 또는 대면으로 처리하는 각종 축구 행정업무를 스마트폰으로 가능하도록 만든 전용 플랫폼이다. 경기와 관련된 모든 절차를 ‘조인KFA 앱’으로 통합했다는데 큰 의미가 있다. 대회 참가신청부터 출전선수 명단 제출, 감독보고서 작성까지 전 과정이 스마트폰으로 가능하다. 예컨대, 참가팀 매니저가 명단을 앱으로 제출하면 경기감독관이 승인하고 경기 결과 보고서까지 앱으로 처리한다. 경기기록은 자동으로 저장되어 데이터베이스화 되는 시스템이다. 또한, 심판, 지도자, 선수등록 관련 업무도 ‘조인KFA 앱’에서 가능하다. 이적신청과 승인이 모바일로 처리되며, 등록비 납부도 된다. 지금껏 직접 방문해야 받을 수 있었던 실적증명서와 경력증명서도 앱에서 신청, 결제, 발급까지 한 번에 처리 할 수 있다. 접근 권한 안내 아래 필수적 접근 권한을 확인 및 허용해야 서비스(앱)을 이용할 수 있습니다. 필수적 접근권한 - 저장공간 : 기기 사진 미디어 파일 접근 권한으로 APP 구동을 위한 파일을 읽고 사용하거나 저장하기 위해서 사용합니다. 선택적 접근 권한 - 카메라 : 사진 촬영 기능을 제공하기 위해 사용합니다. - 알림 : 절차 신청, 승인 등에 대한 처리 안내를 받기 위해 사용합니다. 선택적 접근 권한은 해당 기능을 사용할 때 사용자의 허용이 필요하며 비 허용시에도 해당 기능 외 서비스 이용이 가능합니다.
