FCHR — registration information and training-reward / first-registration triggers
Articles 4–7 require reliable electronic registration/transfer data and identify when a training-rewards process is triggered (including first registration and international transfer patterns under the FCHR/RSTP link). Exam items test who must keep data accurate and when the EPP pipeline starts.
Key points
- Member associations and clubs must keep registration and transfer data accurate and available to FIFA electronically.
- Trigger articles connect FCHR process start to RSTP training-reward events.
- First-registration and international-transfer patterns are common exam fact patterns.
- Bad TMS/registration data upstream breaks later EPP and Allocation Statement steps.
Exam traps
- Jumping straight to Art 17 sanctions when the stem is only about whether a trigger occurred.
- Confusing an RSTP entitlement question with an FCHR trigger/process question.
- Assuming a domestic-only move always opens the full FCHR payment track.
