The opportunity to become a FIFA-licensed football agent starts now.

FIFA has officially opened the 2026 FIFA Football Agent Exam application window, running from January 20 through March 6, 2026. This limited application period is the first required step for anyone seeking FIFA certification and the ability to represent players and clubs in international football transactions.

Why the 2026 FIFA Agent Exam Matters

The FIFA Football Agent Exam is mandatory for entry into the global football agency profession. The exam is heavily focused on FIFA regulations, compliance, and real-world application—making it one of the most challenging credentialing exams in sports.

Candidates are tested on:

• FIFA Football Agent Regulations

• Transfer and representation rules

• Ethical standards and compliance

• Practical application of FIFA statutes

With historically low pass rates, early and structured preparation is a major advantage.
