Agents

Agents and Agencies play a pivotal role in the world of sports, from scouting and nurturing talent to negotiating contracts with clubs and managing players’ careers. However, the ever-changing regulatory landscape and the inherent risks associated with securing payments make the role of agents both challenging and uncertain.

The Challenges Agents Face
Agents operate in a geographically diverse and evolving regulatory environment, often characterized by:

• Low contractual certainty due to inconsistent rules across jurisdictions.
• High commercial risks, especially in ensuring payment for services rendered.
• A fragmented legal framework, exacerbated by deregulation from leading organizations like FIFA and other sports bodies.
