Question 1

Under FFAR, what is the maximum service fee cap (as a percentage of a player's annual remuneration) that a football agent may charge a club for representing that club in a transaction?

Accepted Answer

10%

Answer

When a football agent represents a club (rather than a player), FFAR caps the service fee at 10% of the player's total annual remuneration under the resulting contract.

Question 2

Under FFAR, a Representation Contract must be concluded in writing. What happens if a verbal agreement is used instead?

Accepted Answer

It is automatically void and unenforceable

Answer

FFAR requires Representation Contracts to be in writing; contracts concluded verbally are considered void and cannot be enforced.

Question 3

When must a football agent disclose a Representation Contract to a member association under FFAR?

Accepted Answer

Before the relevant transaction is completed

Answer

FFAR requires the Representation Contract to be disclosed to the relevant member association before — not after — the underlying transaction is finalized.

Question 4

Which of the following persons is explicitly prohibited from obtaining a FIFA football agent license under FFAR?

Accepted Answer

A current FIFA match official

Answer

Active FIFA match officials are among the categories of persons explicitly barred from holding a football agent license under FFAR.

Question 5

Under FFAR, how are service fees calculated when a player's contract is extended (rather than a new transfer occurring)?

Accepted Answer

Fees are based on the additional remuneration the player receives under the extended term

Answer

For contract extensions, FFAR calculates the agent's fee as a percentage of the additional remuneration the player receives as a result of the extension.
