In this country, four of the biggest agencies — CAA Base, Wasserman, Stellar and ARETÉ — are challenging the new regulations and an arbitration tribunal is due to decide on the case before the new rules come into force on October 1.
The statement added: “Fifa particularly notes that the award confirms its regulatory authority to regulate the activity of football agents in the transfer system. Those
provisions notably include the service fee cap, the prohibition of multiple representation and the principle that only licensed football agents may provide football agent services, all of which will enhance contractual stability.”
Agents first
sat the new exam in April, with 48 per cent of the 3,800 who took the test failing to pass.
The rules will also
cap agents’ payments at 6 per cent of a player’s contract. There are no such rules in force now and the most extreme example of a payment to an agent was when the late Mino Raiola earned a reported £41 million from the transfer of Paul Pogba in 2016, representing the player, the selling club (Juventus) and the buying club (Manchester United) in the deal.
The agents are challenging the FA over its National Football Agent Regulations (NFAR) which cover English domestic transfers. The action against Fifa covers its agent regulations which apply to international transfers.
