CLEARING practice questions

Question 1

When the FIFA Clearing House regime applies to a training-reward payment, what is the institution’s role?

Accepted Answer

It processes and distributes the training rewards generated by the RSTP once the EPP and compliance steps are complete. The Clearing House is the payment infrastructure for training rewards (training compensation and solidarity) where the regime applies. It does not repeal the RSTP entitlements. Agent fee caps stay in the FFAR. Once the regime applies, clubs are not free to treat a private wire as a substitute for the FCH process.

Answer

It replaces the RSTP, so training compensation and solidarity no longer exist.

Answer

It processes and distributes the training rewards generated by the RSTP once the EPP and compliance steps are complete.

Answer

It only audits Football Agent service fees under FFAR Article 15.

Answer

It is an optional escrow that clubs may ignore if they prefer a private wire.

Question 2

What is the Electronic Player Passport used for in the training-rewards workflow?

Accepted Answer

It is the electronic record of the player’s registration history used to identify training clubs and allocate rewards. The EPP is the electronic registration history from which training clubs and allocation shares are derived. It is not a passport for travel, not a substitute employment contract, and not limited to futsal.

Answer

It is a travel document FIFA issues to every amateur for visa purposes.

Answer

It is the electronic record of the player’s registration history used to identify training clubs and allocate rewards.

Answer

It replaces the employment contract in TMS.

Answer

It is only used for futsal, never eleven-a-side.

Question 3

Two clubs agree in a private addendum that solidarity will be paid directly next week, bypassing the Clearing House, even though the FCH regime applies. What is the risk?

Accepted Answer

Bypassing the Clearing House process does not discharge the RSTP training-reward obligation where the FCH regime governs the payment. Where the Clearing House regime applies, training-reward payments are processed through that infrastructure after the EPP and compliance assessment. A private side letter, even with an agent’s signature, does not let the new club skip the Request-to-Pay path. Category 4 is a training-compensation exclusion in Annexe 4, not an FCH opt-out.

Answer

None; private addenda always prevail over FIFA process.

Answer

Bypassing the Clearing House process does not discharge the RSTP training-reward obligation where the FCH regime governs the payment.

Answer

The addendum is valid if the player’s agent countersigns it.

Answer

Only category 4 clubs must use the Clearing House.
