Who may provide Football Agent Services and how Agencies fit
Article 11 controls who may provide Football Agent Services and how Agencies participate. Exam items often test the licensed-agent requirement and the limits on who may act in the agent's name.
Key points
- Only a Football Agent may provide Football Agent Services (subject to the FFAR's defined exceptions).
- An Agency may be involved in how services are organised, but the licensed Football Agent remains the regulated actor for Football Agent Services.
- The agent stays responsible for compliance even when using employees, representatives or contractors within an Agency structure.
Exam traps
- Assuming an unlicensed Agency employee may independently provide Football Agent Services because the Agency brand is licensed.
- Treating Agency involvement as a free pass that removes the agent's personal liability for representatives, employees or contractors.
