What is the FIFA Football Agent Exam?
It is FIFA’s mandatory licensing exam for football agents. To pass, you must demonstrate knowledge of the regulatory framework agents work under: notably the FIFA Football Agent Regulations (FFAR), the Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players (RSTP), the FIFA Disciplinary Code, ethics and conduct rules, and related statutes and procedures that appear in FIFA’s published agent exam materials.
When is the next exam?
FIFA usually runs the agent exam on a fixed cadence (often once per year). Confirmed dates, registration windows, and language or location options are only authoritative on the official FIFA Football Agent Platform. We do not set or guarantee exam dates here.
What does the official exam format look like?
Under FIFA’s published parameters, the assessment is a single sitting of 20 multiple-choice questions with a 60-minute time limit, covering the full breadth of regulation modules you are expected to master. That combination of volume, time pressure, and cross-topic coverage is what makes the sitting demanding, not individual questions in isolation.
Do official exam questions name specific articles or paragraphs?
Sometimes yes, and often no. Some real exam-style stems name an article or embed it in the scenario (for example “under article X…”, “based on article X…”, or “do these clauses breach article X?”). Many others do not: they are scenarios or direct knowledge prompts where you must recognize which rule applies. On playersagent.pro, module quizzes cite articles and paragraphs more often on purpose so you can map each rule while studying. Mock and exam-style practice lean toward less lookup signposting and more issue-spotting. Always confirm the latest official format and materials with FIFA when you register.
How does the mock exam on playersagent.pro match the real FIFA exam?
Our mock exam mode is built to mirror the same structural constraints: 20 multiple-choice questions, a running 60-minute timer, and coverage across the FIFA regulation modules reflected in the official syllabus. You rehearse the same pace, density, and decision pressure you will face on exam day. Practice items are written for study in exam style; they are not confidential past-paper reproductions. Some bank items carry reported-exam attribution and are light-adapted for learning (names, clubs, and wording), while synthetics are original exam-hard practice. Always confirm the latest official format and rules with FIFA when you register.
How is playersagent.pro different from reading the regulations myself?
Reading the sources is essential, but the exam tests recall and application under time pressure across many topics. playersagent.pro bridges that gap with exam-style questions tied to the regulatory corpus, spaced-repetition flashcards for retention, module-based quizzes, and mock exams that reproduce the 20-question / 60-minute frame so you are not seeing the rules for the first time in a high-stakes environment.
Is everything really free?
Yes. All features are currently available at no cost and without an account: unlimited quizzes, flashcards, mock exams, official documents, and analytics. You can optionally sign in to sync progress across devices.
Can I use this on my phone?
Yes. The product is built web-first and works great on mobile: study in short sessions on any modern browser, whether you are on a commute or between meetings. Mock exams are timed the same on phone or desktop.
Who built this platform?
playersagent.pro was built by someone preparing for the same exam, focused on how the assessment is actually constructed (timing, question style, module breadth), not only on highlighting PDFs. The goal is a tool that respects the real format while staying scrupulous about separating practice content from anything official.
Licensing process & exam logistics
What is the official licensing pathway?
To become a licensed Football Agent, you must complete these sequential steps. Confirm the current application window and readiness-check deadline on the official FIFA Football Agent Platform — they change by cycle.
- Application: Submit a complete license application via the FIFA Agent Platform during FIFA’s published application window.
- Eligibility: Meet all requirements in Art. 5 of the FFAR (e.g., no criminal record, no conflicts of interest).
- Readiness Check: Successfully complete the mandatory Pre-Exam Readiness Check by FIFA’s published deadline.
- The Exam: Sit the 60-minute, 20-question exam and achieve a score of 75% or higher.
- Licensing Fee: Once you pass, you must pay the annual FIFA license fee (USD 600 for the first year) to activate your status.
What exactly is the "Pre-Exam Readiness Check"?
It is a mandatory practice attempt on the FIFA Platform used to verify that your devices (laptop and smartphone), internet connection, and physical location meet technical specifications.
- Deadline: Must be completed by FIFA’s published readiness-check deadline for your exam cycle.
- Consequence: If you fail to complete this check, you will be denied admission to the actual Exam.
- Requirement: You must use the exact same equipment and location you intend to use on exam day.
What devices do I need to take the exam?
FIFA requires a dual-device setup for proctoring and security:
- Primary Device: A laptop or desktop with a functional camera and microphone to run the exam.
- Secondary Device: A smartphone with camera and microphone functionalities, used for registration and real-time invigilation.
- Power: Your devices must be connected to a reliable power supply or have enough battery for the full 60 minutes.
Can I use my own notes or the internet during the exam?
No. While the exam is "open-book," it is strictly limited:
- Allowed: You may consult the official Study Materials in digital format only via the approved Platform.
- Prohibited: You cannot use printed materials, handwritten notes, or external websites/apps (except for the Unofficial Translator Tool, used at your own risk).
- Physical Items: You may have one blank sheet of paper and a pen, which must be shown to and destroyed in front of the Invigilator.
How does the grading system work?
The grading is binary—there is no partial credit:
- Full Mark: Awarded only for a 100% correct answer. When a question requires multiple answers, you must select every correct option to get the point.
- Zero Marks: Given for blank, partially correct, or incorrect answers.
- No Penalties: There are no negative marks for wrong answers.
What happens if my internet cuts out?
Candidates are solely responsible for their connectivity. If your internet fails during the session:
- You will be prevented from continuing.
- Your license application will be rejected.
- Connectivity issues are not considered "force majeure". You would have to wait until the next exam window to re-apply.
