FIFA's latest Football Agent Regulations (FFAR) are reshaping the transfer landscape, introducing stricter licensing requirements, commission caps, and transparency mandates. These regulations aim to protect players, establish fair standards, and prevent conflicts of interest in deal-making.

For players, the new rules mean greater clarity on agency fees and contract terms. For clubs and agencies, it requires rigorous compliance audits and standardizing representations. In this guide, we break down the core components of the FFAR, detail what players need to look for in a licensed representative, and explain how DABE Sport Agency's compliance framework ensures total alignment with FIFA standards.
