Can agents be held accountable for violations of the Code?

Agents can indeed be held personally liable for violations of the FIFA Agents Disciplinary Code. This accountability emphasizes that agents are responsible for their actions and conduct within the framework of the Code. The principle behind this is that agents act in a professional capacity and their behavior directly impacts the integrity of the sport and the relationships they maintain with players, clubs, and other entities.

The personal liability aspect serves as a deterrent against unethical practices and ensures that agents uphold the standards set within the Code. This personal accountability aligns with broader principles in sports law, where individuals are often held responsible for their own decisions and actions regardless of their affiliations with an agency.

The other options do not accurately reflect the structure of accountability established in the Code, as they either minimize the agent's role or suggest conditions that do not encompass the full scope of potential violations.
