Blog / How to become a Football agent

Qualifications for football representatives have been updated by FIFA and the Football Association to enhance professionalism and ethics in the industry. Only those with a valid representative license, obtained through passing the FIFA examination, can negotiate with clubs and manage player affairs. Specialized CPD courses are required for representing minors. The new regulations prohibit representatives from contacting players under contract with others, except in the last two months before the contract ends. Agreements are limited to two years and must include parties' names, duration, fees, and services. Either party can terminate the agreement for valid reasons, such as license revocation. Clauses mandating exclusive negotiations are banned. These measures aim to curb unethical practices and ensure fair representation in football.
