The reform package therefore includes several measures concerning agents:
establishment of a cap on commissions to avoid excessive and abusive practices
limitation of multiple representation to avoid conflicts of interest
reintroduction of a mandatory licensing system for agents to raise professional standards
creation of a FIFA Clearing House to guarantee better financial transparency
establishment of an effective FIFA dispute resolution system to address disputes between agents, players and clubs
disclosing and publishing all agent-related work on transfers, to increase transparency, improve the credibility of the transfer system and support the implementation of new regulations.
All these proposals from FIFA on agent regulation are sensible, reasonable, rational, proportionate and necessary to protect the interests of players and the wider interests of football. They are also in line with sentiment repeatedly expressed by institutions such as the European Commission and European Parliament.
FIFA is currently developing these proposals to be turned into regulations. Once again, this work is done in consultation with the football stakeholders, including agentsβ representatives.
