How To Pass The FIFA Football Agent Exam - Book 1

Preparing for the football agents exam is a time-consuming endeavor. The aim of this series of books is to prepare you, teach you and train you how to pass the football agent exam. This series of books will also provide you with the practical elements and theoretical knowledge to help you gain an edge over other football agents in this highly competitive sector. I passed the football agent exam in my first attempt in 2007 in the Netherlands. Since then, I have honed my approach into a method to help other aspiring agents pass the exam as well. It is my goal and purpose to train and guide current intermediaries through the most important study material. I will try to accomplish this in the simplest way possible. However, as the FIFA regulations have been amended several times based on both CAS and FIFA jurisprudence, it is irrevocable to not mention certain landmark cases to explain the meaning of the articles and provisions. Intermediaries who are already in the possession of a license, because they were already licensed players‘ agents before April 2015, can use this series of books as a handbook to refresh their knowledge and update their skills as the books will give you a comprehensive overview on all the essential material and updates from the past years. Students who aspire to build a career in the sports industry as a football agent can use this series of books as a first introduction to the most important regulations and jurisprudence.
