FIFA Agent FAQ
Becoming a FIFA Licensed Football Agent
What is the FIFA Agent exam?
The FIFA Football Agent Exam is the licensing test that aspiring football agents must pass before they can represent players, unless they qualify for an exemption. It lasts sixty minutes and includes twenty multiple choice questions that test your knowledge of FIFA regulations and the football transfer system. FIFA now administers the exam online.
What score do you need to pass the FIFA Agent exam?
You need at least seventy five percent, which means answering fifteen of the twenty questions correctly. With only five questions of room for error, structured preparation matters. SMWW's FIFA Agent Prep course is built around the regulations the exam covers.
How much does the FIFA Agent exam cost?
FIFA sets the exam fee and displays it on the FIFA Agent Platform when you apply, so the amount can change from year to year. Licensed agents also pay an annual license fee to FIFA, and your national football federation may charge its own fees depending on where you are based. Confirm current amounts on the FIFA Agent Platform and with your federation before you budget.
When is the FIFA Agent exam held?
FIFA holds one exam edition per year. In 2026, the application window ran from January 20 to March 6, exams took place in late April and early May, and results were released in early June. Because the application window lasts only about six weeks, it is smart to begin studying well before it opens.
How many people pass the FIFA Agent Exam?
Passing is far from guaranteed. When the exam was offered in March 2022, just fifty two percent of candidates passed. Taking a structured prep course such as SMWW's FIFA Agent Prep course can improve your odds by giving you a clear study plan and expert feedback.
Who is eligible to take the FIFA Agent exam?
Candidates apply through the FIFA Agent Platform, must meet the eligibility requirements in the FIFA Football Agent Regulations, and must complete a pre exam readiness check before exam day. Some agents who were already registered under earlier rules may be exempt from sitting the exam, so review the regulations to see where you stand.
Do you need to be a lawyer to become a FIFA agent?
No, you do not need to be a lawyer to become a FIFA agent. While some agents have a legal background, many successful FIFA agents start with the right training and a passion for soccer. SMWW's FIFA Agent Prep Course gives you the essential tools to prepare, with no law degree required.
What makes a great FIFA Agent?
Being a FIFA agent is about much more than knowing the rules. It is about building authentic relationships, earning trust, and helping athletes achieve their goals. Athletes choose agents who are genuine, friendly, and dependable, who show integrity and character, and who are ready to go above and beyond for their clients. Lawyers can always handle the contract fine print.
