Module 1: Becoming a football agent

Lesson two is the heart of the module: who FIFA will license, and who it won’t. Most refused applications fail here, not in the exam. We will go through the four steps in article four, then every eligibility requirement in article five, including the time windows that catch people out.

  • Four steps to a licence
  • Agreeing to FIFA’s rules by applying
  • Article 5: Eligibility requirements
  • Requirements that never switch off
  • Three time windows
  • Eligibility in practice
  • What counts as football agent services
