FIFA Players Agents exam
HERALD SPORTS REPORTER
MAPUSA, MARCH 27
The FIFA Players Agents examination will be conducted by All India Football Association (AIFF) in New Delhi to ensure players are better represented in India. It will be held on April 15.
Since 2001 players agents have not been licensed by FIFA but have been gaining their accreditation from their association.
FIFA now plans to roll out a revolutionary transfer matching system, which will account for all international transfers around the world to improve efficiency and transparency, spelling the end of unlicensed agents.
Arvind Narayan, who has trained with India U-20 team in the past as a player and who works with Libero Sports representing Indian footballers, understands the current state of Indian football and is looking to develop players at the grassroot levels.
Arvind, while speaking to Herald, said: “May be village clubs in Goa could also benefit from agents, by drawing up contracts with selling on clauses where the club earns a percentage of a players transfer fee once he is resold to professional clubs in the future. This would give an incentive to the clubs to develop future Brunos and Brahmanands of Goan football.”
Applications may be sent via email to [email protected] upto March 29. AIFF will shortlist candidates who will be eligible to answer the exam.
