Becoming a Football Agent

To become a Football Agent, a natural person must submit a complete licence application via the Platform, comply with eligibility requirements, pass an exam conducted by FIFA, and pay an annual fee to FIFA.

An applicant must not have been convicted of certain criminal charges, including organised crime, corruption, bribery, and fraud.
An applicant must not have been subject to suspension or disqualification by a regulatory authority or sports governing body for failure to comply with rules relating to ethics and professional conduct.

An applicant must not hold any interest in a club, academy, league, or Single-Entity League.

Exam Procedure

An applicant who satisfies the eligibility requirements will be invited to sit the exam at a member association selected in their licence application.
The member association may charge an exam fee to cover the reasonable costs of organising and holding the exam.
The exam will be a multiple-choice test prepared by FIFA, testing knowledge of current football regulations.

Licence Fee

If an applicant passes the exam, they must pay the annual licence fee to FIFA within ninety days of passing the exam.
