3、nalysis of football agents activity in international transfers;insightful information about the licensing system,its enforcement and related data;and updates that are relevant to the activity of a football agent.With respect to all football agents activity,the report covers any representation of pla

4、yers and/or clubs in employmentrelated and transferrelated negotiations,collectively known as“football agent services”.Under the FIFA Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players and the FIFA Football Agent Regulations(FFAR),clubs are required to enter the names and service fees of any club age

5、nts involved in an international transfer,as well as the names of any football agent acting on behalf of the player,in the Transfer Matching System(TMS).Such declarations made in 2024 are the source of the data in this report.This entails information on engaging and releasingclub agents,but also inf

6、ormation on player agents in connection with international transfers in mens and womens football.This information will allow readers to understand how agents activity developed in 2024.With respect to male professional players,the total amount of service fees for club agents declared in internationa

7、l transfers in 2024 was USD 709.6 million.Although this is a decrease compared to the level of spending in 2023,this amount nevertheless constitutes the secondhighestever total for a full year.As TMS only captures service fees paid for club agents in international transfers,this amount furthermore d

8、oes not include service fees paid in the context of domestic transfers,renegotiation of employment contracts or any service fees paid to player agents.The full revenue of all football agents is thus likely to be even substantially higher.In the context of international transfers of female profession

9、al players during the same period,football agents were involved in 184 transfers representing clubs and in 515 transfers representing players.However,the revenues of club agents in womens football are still significantly lower than in mens football,with just under USD 3.1 million in service fees ear

10、ned in 2024.Nevertheless,there has still been substantial growth across the last five years,with the figure for 2024 more than 2.2 times higher than in 2023 and more than six times the level of 2020.Finally,regarding enforcementrelated data,it is worth mentioning that,during the period covered by th

11、is report,FIFA opened 1,627 investigations that led to several licence applications being rejected or in the case of already licensed individuals their licence having been provisionally suspended for not meeting the eligibility requirements as established by article 5 of the FFAR.Football Agents Rep

12、ort 52.Licensing system2.Licensing system6Football Agents ReportLicence application processIn 2024,FIFA opened a further two periods during which individuals could submit their licence applications to become football agents,as follows:During the period covered by this report(1 January to 5 December

13、2024),FIFA received 19,827 licensing applications.Out of the total number of exam applicants,10,887 took the exam on one of the two exam dates and 40.4%passed the exam.During the licence application process,FIFA opened 1,606 investigations regarding a potential failure to comply with the eligibility

14、 requirements.Approximately 17%of the investigations led to the rejection of a licence application.An overview of the reasons for the rejection of licence applications is listed below.Grounds for rejectionNo.of licensing applications rejectedFailure to meet the deadline182Being an official or employ

18、ct of the exam).Such findings also led to the rejection of their licence applications.It is worth noting that the FIFA general secretariat was able to prevent several individuals from taking the exam on the basis that they had provided football agent services without the required licence 24 months b

19、efore making their licence application.Those individuals were found performing these services in the following countries:England,India,USA,Uzbekistan,Indonesia,Israel,Honduras and Belgium.All the corresponding decisions are published on the FIFA website.Continuing professional development(CPD)The pe

20、riod between 1 October 2023 and 30 September 2024 marks the first CPD cycle since the inception of the new FFAR on 16 December 2022,from which date a total of 4,477 football agents have been required to meet the continuing professional development(CPD)requirements.In short,subject to the type of lic

21、ensing path followed,football agents must earn a minimum number of CPD credits per CPD calendar year,which runs from 1 October in one year to the following 30 September.The current requirements are as follows:Exam path:a minimum of 20 CPD credits Legacy and national law paths:a minimum of 40 CPD cre

22、dits for the first five cycles,reduced to 20 CPD credits per cycle from the sixth cycle onwardsBased on this,41%of football agents must earn 40 CPD credits in the 2023/2024 CPD cycle.Given the critical role that football agents play in the international transfer system,it is essential that they stay

23、 informed about the latest regulatory frameworks and key developments in the football world.Five CPD courses the FIFA Football Agent Regulations,Registration of Players,Training Rewards,Release of Players for International Duty,and Representing Minors were introduced in the 2023/2024 CPD calendar ye

24、ar.In addition to those,courses entitled AntiTrafficking,ThirdParty Influence&ThirdParty Ownership,and Rules for the Employment of Coaches were released in the new 2024/2025 CPD cycle.It is worth mentioning that,in the 2023/2024 CPD cycle,Registration of Players was by far the mostcompleted course(b

25、y 95%of agents),followed by Release of Players for International Duty(89%),FIFA Football Agent Regulations(88%)and Training Rewards(76%).2.Licensing system8Football Agents ReportCompliance with ongoing licensing requirementsOn 1 October 2024,a new licensing period(2024/2025)started.Consequently,as p

26、rovided by article 17 of the FFAR,this triggered the obligations to pay the licence renewal fee to FIFA and to comply with the CPD requirements by 30 September,as stipulated on the FIFA Agent Platform.If football agents fail to pay the annual licence fee to FIFA or to comply with the CPD requirement

27、s as mentioned above(or both),their licence will be automatically provisionally suspended.Failure to rectify the noncompliance within 60 days of the licence being automatically provisionally suspended will result in the licence being withdrawn,and football agents must then complete the full licence

28、application process again.On 1 October 2024,2,616 licences were provisionally suspended for the following reasons:Nonpayment of the annual fee(1,777)Failure to comply with the CPD requirements(1,387)During the period covered by this report,FIFA also opened 21 investigations into football agents who

29、failed to meet the eligibility requirements.Out of those 21 investigations:five investigations were still pending at the time of writing;one football agent had their licence provisionally suspended for failing to comply with article 5 paragraph 1 b)of the FFAR;three football agents had their licence

30、 provisionally suspended for failing to comply with article 5 paragraph 1 a)ii.of the FFAR;one football agent had their licence provisionally suspended for failing to comply with article 5 paragraph 1 a)i.and iv.of the FFAR;and11 investigations were closed.A total of 1,825 licences were subsequently

31、 reinstated(as soon as the abovementioned requirements were met),whereas 406 licences were withdrawn.As of 5 December 2024,a total of 7,558 individuals were licensed football agents.Of these licensed agents:95%were male;5%were female;their average age was 42 years;and 64.9%were authorised to represe

32、nt minors.2.Licensing system9Football Agents ReportOut of the five football agents with investigations still pending,three have appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.All the decisions are published on the FIFA website.As a final point in relation to compliance with the eligibility requireme

33、nts,it is worth mentioning the dispute between an agent and FIFA.This revolved around FIFAs rejection of the agents licence application,citing his failure to meet the eligibility requirements outlined in article 5 paragraph 1 a)ii.of the FFAR and specifically the provision stating that applicants mu

34、st have never been convicted of a criminal charge.Before CAS,the agent argued that FIFA violated his right to a defence by failing to notify him of crucial correspondence related to his licence application process.He claimed an exemption from the exam requirement based on his prior registration as a

35、n intermediary with the Portuguese Football Federation.Additionally,the agent contended that his criminal conviction,which was under appeal and not yet final,did not constitute a disqualifying offence under the FFAR.The CAS Panel first addressed the procedural issues raised by the agent,asserting CA

36、Ss full power of review,including the ability to rectify procedural flaws.Consequently,it found that the agent had ample opportunity to present his case both in writing and orally during the CAS proceedings.It therefore dismissed his claim.Furthermore,the Panel examined the validity of the notificat

37、ions sent by FIFA,determining that electronic notifications through the FIFA Agent Platform constituted valid means of communication under the FFAR.Subsequently,the Panel evaluated the legitimacy of rejecting the agents licence application,considering whether his criminal conviction aligned with the

38、 conditions outlined in article 5 paragraph a)ii.of the FFAR.It determined that the offence of“damage with violence”qualified as a“violent crime”under the FFAR.Additionally,it dismissed the argument that only final and binding convictions applied,emphasising the wording of the article and noting del

39、iberate omissions of references to finality in the drafting process.Consequently,the Panel concluded that the agents failure to meet the FFAR requirements justified the rejection of his licence application.As a result,it dismissed the appeal and upheld the appealed decision.10Football Agents Report3

71、tIn just over 91%of all cases,club agents received less than USD 1 million in service fees per transaction,with service fees ranging between USD 10,000 and USD 100,000 being the most common.However,the 196 instances in which the service fees exceeded USD 1 million accounted for more than half(60.5%)

72、of the total amount paid by clubs to agents,with isolated cases of service fees even surpassing USD 16 million.Higher service fees for agents were also more common among transfers that also included a transfer fee.In absolute terms,the median service fees were higher in transfers with higher transfe

73、r fees.This was true for both engagingclub and releasingclub agents.When expressed as a percentage of the transfer fee,however,the median service fees decreased as the transfer fee increased.Figure 6:Number of transfers with club agents,by transfer fee and size of agent service fees paid by clubs(YT
