The FA has previously reported that the 2009 FIFA Congress declared its support for an "in-depth reform of the player’s agents system through a new approach based on the concept of intermediaries”. On the basis of the proposals of the FIFA working group assigned to tackle the issue, it may be that the current players' agents licensing provisions will be replaced by a different system.
FIFA’s initial position was that any proposals would be introduced with effect from October 2011, provided they had gained approval at the 2011 FIFA Congress. We now understand from FIFA that any draft provisions will not be considered by the FIFA Congress until its 2012 meeting. Consequently, it is likely that any revised Regulations, if approved by that Congress, will not come into force until October 2012 at the earliest.
The FA would like to reiterate that until such time as any new Regulations come into force, the existing Football Agents Regulations, including the current requirements for individuals to become licensed agents, will continue to apply.
