Which of the following constitutes remuneration according to the FIFA Regulations on the Working with Intermediaries?
Login fee
A percentage of a future transfer fee, agreed to be paid by the club to a player and included in the player’s contract.
The provision of a vehicle valued at €9,000 per season for the duration of a player’s contract.
Loyalty or performance bonus
The definition of remuneration is "gross financial compensation for employment stipulated in a negotiated employment contract, including base salary, any sign-on fee, and any amounts payable upon the fulfillment of certain conditions (e.g., a loyalty or performance bonus)." For the avoidance of doubt, in the calculation of gross financial compensation, agreed future relocation compensation and non-salary benefits, such as the provision of a vehicle, accommodation, or telephone services, are not taken into account.
Therefore, a percentage of a future transfer fee and the provision of a car are not included in Gross Remuneration/Financial Compensation.

The football agent Valentino represents the player Roberto in his international transfer to Club A.
Roberto’s annual remuneration from football will be USD 225,000.
Of this USD 225,000, USD 50,000 comprises conditional payments (i.e., loyalty bonuses and performance bonuses).
What is the maximum annual service fee payable to Valentino?
$6,750 USD
$10,750 USD
$11,250 USD
$13,500
Valentino represents a Natural Person, meaning his service fee will be based on the Natural Person Remuneration (Article 15.1.a, FFAR).
Conditional payments are not considered in the calculation to determine the applicable service fee cap for Individual Person Remuneration (Article 15.2.a, FFAR).
Conditional payments of USD 50,000 per year are excluded from the calculation to determine the limit (i.e., the assessment of whether the USD 200,000 threshold has been exceeded), Roberto’s remuneration for the purposes of this assessment is considered USD 175,000, which means the applicable service fee limit is 5% (instead of a 5%/3% split).
Once the threshold level has been determined (in this case 5%), that percentage is applied to Roberto’s entire remuneration, including conditional payments.
Accordingly, the maximum service fee payable to Valentino is 5% of $225,000 (article 15.2, FFAR).

Matt is a registered intermediary who has a valid representation agreement with Félix, a professional footballer.
Following the full implementation of the FIFA Regulations on Football Agents (FFAR) on 1 October 2023, there are 18 months remaining to execute the representation agreement, so Matt believes he has 18 months before needing to obtain a Football Agent Licence and can continue providing representation services to Félix under his existing representation agreement.
Is that correct?
Yes, but when your existing representation contract expires, you must obtain your license before entering into another representation agreement with Felix.
Matt's existing representation agreement with Felix will cease to be effective upon full FFAR implementation and he must obtain a Football Agent License and enter into a new Representation Agreement with Felix to continue representing him.
No, while the representation agreement with Felix will remain in effect until its expiration in 18 months, following the full implementation of the FFAR, Matt will need to obtain his FIFA Agent License to continue providing anything falling within the definition of Football Agent Services, but the representation agreement will remain enforceable until its natural expiration even if it is incompatible with the new FFAR effective October 1, 2023.
While the representation agreement with Felix remains in effect until its expiration in 18 months, following the full implementation of the FFAR, Matt will need to obtain a Football Agent License to continue providing any services falling within the definition of Football. Agent services and representation agreements must comply with the FFAR from October 1, 2023.
Following the implementation of the FIFA Regulations on Football Agents (FFAR), no individual may provide Football Agent Services without obtaining a license (Article 22.3, FFAR).
Furthermore, all representation contracts entered into between December 17, 2022, and September 30, 2023, must comply with the FFAR as of October 1, 2023.

It has been determined that Ross (an established England international) terminated his contract without just cause during the protected period, and he is subject to a four-month suspension from participating in official matches.
Ross's suspension begins on May 1, 2024.
Is Ross permitted to participate with his national team in the 2024 European Championship (which will take place in June and July 2024)?
No, they will not be allowed to participate.
Yes, he will be allowed to play because the sanction will not apply to international matches in which Ross is a registered national team player.
He will be eligible to play, provided he notifies FIFA 15 days in advance.
Only the final match of the competition can be played.
The sporting sanctions outlined in article 17.3 of the FIFA Regulations on Safeguarding of Minors apply to all "official matches," including international matches.
As Ross is an established member of the national team, and the competition is the "final competition of an international tournament," the 4-month period will continue to be calculated from the last official club match of the previous season to the first official match of the next season.
If the player is not a regular member of their national team, and the national team is not participating in the final stage of an international tournament during the four-month suspension, the sporting sanctions would be suspended during the period between the last official match of the season and the first official match of the next season.

Warren is an established professional football player.
During the season, he expressed disappointment with the number of official matches he played for his club.
The club played 40 official matches this season, the last one being 7 days ago.
In which of the following scenarios could Warren terminate his playing contract prematurely?
Warren only appeared in 3 official matches.
Warren only featured in 5 official matches.
Warren only featured in 12 official matches.
Warren only appeared in 4 official matches.
An established professional player may terminate their playing contract due to sporting reasons if they have participated in less than 10% of their club's official matches during a season (Article 15, FIFA Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players).
To terminate the player contract for these reasons, the player must do so within 15 days following the last official match of the season (Article 15, FIFA Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players).
Consequently, given that the club played 40 official matches during the season, Warren needed to have played fewer than 4 official matches in order to have a legitimate sporting reason for terminating his playing contract prematurely.
