#41 : Inside FIFA and the Development of the FFAR (FIFA Football Agent Regulations) - Where are the Agent Associations & What do they 'Stand For'? - Football Agents Classified as Employment Agencies?
Description
Much of the focus on the FIFA Football Agent Regulations (FFAR) has rightly been from the perspective of football agents, however, what has been the experience of many of those within FIFA tasked with developing the FFAR?
In this episode of The Agent's Angle, we are privileged to be joined by Tarik Ajanovic, a former FIFA official from the Agents Department; for a first-hand account of the challenges, thoughts, & experiences from a rarely heard perspective.
Where do Football Agent Associations now sit in the football eco-system & how are they performing in terms of representing not just their members, but the football agent industry as a whole? Not least, whether their efforts are good enough for FIFA & others in football to view agents as 'stakeholders'.
There is also a look at the latest circular from FIFA featuring the AWG (Agent Working Group), agent exam, & agent licensing fees.
We also have news from elsewhere, that new government legislation could see football agents classified as 'employment agencies' a& subject to further compliance and regulation.
