The FA have cardiac screening for Academy players* and obviously pros undergo medicals, but they don't specifically look for the indicators of Sudden Cardiac Death. The FA don't care about amateur players otherwise they'd do what the Italians and even the Irish do and insist that ALL players, yes EVERYONE playing football at whatever standard, over the age of 14 completes a medical questionnaire which, if any of the answers is "yes" they have to be screened before they're allowed to play football.

*page 498 of The FA Handbook:

Quote:
"Cardiological Screening
a. On Entry (9 Years Old or at Any Age up to 16 Years Old)
Each registered Academy Player to undergo a medical examination by the Academy
doctor that includes standard cardiovascular system assessments. Referral for specific cardiological assessment test to be organised by The Academy Doctor where there are clinical indications following the medical examination in line with The FA
Cardiological Screening Policy on Entry. All costs incurred for these specific tests to be met by The Academy."
