The season finale of 'The Agents Angle' features the second part of our interview with a former FIFA official who played a crucial part in trying to sculpt a fair and workable infrastructure for the FFAR (FIFA Football Agent Regulations); covering aspects such as the agents platform and FIFA agents exam.
Plus, we examine the surprise of not only agents and those outside of FIFA, but also FIFA officials themselves as to why the very important Licensed FIFA Football Agents directory is still 'down for maintenance'.
There is also valuable advice and guidance for future FIFA football agent exam candidates as to how the exam is structured, where to focus efforts …... as well as some guidance that may seem too basic and ultimately that some candidates may neglect.
And seeing as this is the last episode of Season 1 of 'The Agents Angle', we not only take time to reflect on a season dominated by FFAR; but more importantly we look to what is ahead in the football agent world, that will bring not only challenges but also hopefully many improvements and opportunities.
