Technical problems with Fifa’s online football agent exam have prevented candidates from completing the test, with many told they will have to wait 12 months for their next opportunity.
New regulations on agents introduced at the start of this year mean candidates must complete 20 multiple‑choice questions online rather than attend a test in person, usually at their national federation’s headquarters. It is understood the change was made by Fifa to provide consistency over the cost, with candidates now paying $100 (or the equivalent in pounds or Euros) to sit the annual exam, which took place for the first time on 18 June.
