A group of football agents have claimed an important victory in their fight against new Fifa regulations designed to control the industry. A tribunal commissioned by the Football Association has found that certain key elements of the Fifa Football Agent Regulations (FFAR) are incompatible with British competition law, leaving the FA unable to implement the new rules in their current state.
Those elements are understood to be a proposed cap on the size of an agent’s fee from any transfer and a restriction on the frequency of payments received by any agent.
