What to focus on while you read

Article 6 — Council competence on player status, transfers, and representative teams

Article 6 assigns the Council — not Congress alone — competence to adopt special regulations on the status of players, transfers, training encouragement, and protection of representative teams. Exam items test which body regulates RSTP-style matters under the Statutes.

Key points

• Council adopts special regulations on player status and transfers.
• The same article framework covers encouraging training by clubs and protecting representative teams.
• Do not substitute ‘Executive Committee’ language from older Statutes editions.
• RSTP detail lives in RSTP; Article 6 is the Statutes competence hook.

Exam traps

• Saying Congress alone adopts player-status regulations under Article 6.
• Reading Article 6 as human rights / non-discrimination (those are Arts 3–4).
• Treating every RSTP procedural rule as if it were written in the Statutes article itself.
