The New FIFA Football Agent Regulations10:30-13:00: Key note presentations - Hall of Champions
Following adoption by the FIFA Council in December 2022, the new FIFA Football Agent Regulations (FFAR) came into force on 9 January 2023 - although there will be a transition period before the requirement to use only licenced football agents and the cap on agent fees come into force on 1 October 2023 - an important step in creating a fairer and more transparent football transfer system - according to FIFA. The new regulations introduce basic service standards for football agents and their clients, including a mandatory licencing regime, a ban on multiple representation to avoid conflicts of interest, and the introduction of a cap on agent fees to strengthen contractual stability, protect the integrity of the transfer system, and achieve greater financial transparency. You can also take a closer look at the key issues and changes in the new rules.
