#13: Former FIFA Agent Regulator Gives Insights on Agent Regulation Past, Present & Future - End of Agent Clearing House and Agents Reported Missing !!!!!

The Agents Angle - The World's Premier Football (Soccer) Agent Show

Episode 13 ('unlucky for some') marks the week after the new FFAR (FIFA Football Agent Regulations) were scheduled to come 'fully into force'. We are joined by a former FIFA regulator who now works in private practice advising many top clubs, players, agents and leagues on a breadth of regulatory matters. Paolo Lombardi brings with him a unique perspective, a depth of knowledge and an 'inside track' on the world of football agent regulations - we look with him at the past, present and (possible) future of football agent regulations.

Also this week, we have updates on the development of NFAR (National Football Agent Regulations) by national football associations from around the world; whilst another National Association looks to 'scrap' its pioneering 'clearing house' for football agent payments.

And whilst one FIFA resource for agents poses the question of why some newly licensed FIFA Football Agents seem to have gone missing (with gremlins the prime suspects), we also have a look at a new tool for agents to assist in the creation of compliant football agent representation agreements.
