Can agents represent international players in their home countries?

Agents are allowed to represent international players in their home countries as long as they fulfill specific licensing requirements. This means that they must hold a valid license in accordance with the regulations set forth by FIFA and any relevant national football associations. Such licensing ensures that agents are knowledgeable about the rules governing football transfers and player representation, thus protecting the interests of the players they represent.

The regulations are designed to maintain professionalism in the industry and create a standard for agent conduct. By meeting these licensing requirements, agents can operate effectively in their home countries and represent players in negotiations, transfers, and other professional interactions. This facilitates international player mobility and the functioning of the football market on a global scale, aligning with FIFA's overarching goals of fair play and organization in football administration.
