Rewards, regulatory and finals

What to focus on while you read

Procedural Rules — training reward claims, regulatory/minors applications, eligibility, and entry into force

Articles 27–35 cover training reward claims and related procedure, regulatory applications (including minors via TMS), eligibility / change of association requests, transitory rules, and entry into force. Do not study Arts 27–28 in isolation — the exam pool sits across the whole band.

Key points

• Training reward claims follow Articles 27–28 (and 28bis where applicable).
• Regulatory applications and minor international transfer / first registration sit in Articles 29–30.
• Eligibility and change-of-association requests have dedicated procedural tracks.
• These Procedural Rules were approved by the FIFA Council and specify their entry-into-force date.

Exam traps

• Treating a pure Def 28 coach-jurisdiction question as a training-reward procedure item.
• Applying claim-filing Art 18 rules wholesale to regulatory TMS applications without reading Arts 29–30.
• Ignoring transitory provisions for procedures that commenced before the Rules entered into force.
