#36 : Agency Ordered to Pay Player Millions - Questionable Claims by FIFA's Gianni Infantino on Agent Fees - Football Agent Regulations & Licensing in Italy - FIFA Back Down - Digital FIFA Agent IDs
Description
Whilst one agency/agent is instructed by a court to pay a former player-client almost 5 MILLION euros in 'compensation', statements from Gianni Infantino in recent weeks criticising the outlay by English Premier League Clubs on agent service fees, but are these claims based on a false narrative? The Agents Angle examines the credibility of the FIFA president's comments, in particular the seemingly unjustified claims that FIFA 'Solidarity' and 'Training Compensation' payments to clubs developing players, are negatively affected by football agent commissions.
There is a look at Italy with Italian Sports Lawyer Alessandro Mazzucato on the matter of football agent licensing and regulation, where the landscape although similar to France in that national legislation over-rules FIFA regulation, it also has its own variations in football agent regulations and licensing that agents need to be aware of.
Plus a look at FIFA 'backing down' in the face of one legal challenge; and also an examination of the new FIFA Digital Agent ID 'Cards' for FIFA Licensed Football Agents, and whether a seemingly well intentioned initiative from FIFA 'falls short' and potentially leads to unintended problems for NOT JUST agents, through factors such as data-theft and the manipulation by the likes of 'fake agents'.
