has adopted new guidelines.
“Regulating the issues relating to the operation of licensed football agents is one of the tasks of the NHS, as set out in the NHS Statutes, and in this area the NHS must also respect and implement decisions coming from the European (UEFA) or world (FIFA) level,” on its website in special circular letters the Football Association of Slovenia said.
NHS complies with FIFA’s request
At Brdo pri Kranju, they continued.In order to promote a high level of professionalism among football agents and to align the regulation of football agents or former football agents with the objectives of the football transfer system, in particular by ensuring that the transfer system continues to be based on the principles of stability and solidarity, FIFA adopted this year new FIFA Football Agent Regulations. In this document, FIFA also set out the requirement for national associations to have a national federation in place by 30. Adopt and start enforcing FIFA’s national rules for licensed football agents on September 2023, which must comply with the new rules and cover the activities of football agents in the territory of the member association and the performance of representation contracts that do not have an international dimension.”
The NHS has highlighted the following as the most important innovations:
– The process for obtaining a football agent’s licence again includes more stringent requirements for applicants for a football agent’s licence, who must also pass a football agent’s exam (which will also be organised by the NHS in accordance with FIFA guidelines). Football agents must meet the eligibility requirements at all times, NHS Regulation 12. Article 2 also sets out the conditions for suspension or revocation of a licence.
– Only licensed football agents are allowed to provide and offer football agent services.
– The duration or validity of the representation contract between the individual (i.e. the player or coach) and the football agent is limited. At the same time, the mandatory elements of the representation contract are set out, and the amount of the remuneration to be paid to the football agent for the provision of his services is limited. The new regime also provides for additional special protections for minors and specifically addresses issues relating to their representation.
– The new rules set out in much greater detail and precision the rights and obligations of the parties to the agency contract, both those of the football agent and those of the other party to the contract.
