Can an agent appeal a disciplinary decision, and if so, to whom?

An agent can indeed appeal a disciplinary decision to the FIFA Appeal Committee. This committee is designed specifically to handle appeals regarding decisions made by the FIFA Disciplinary Committee. The FIFA Appeal Committee reviews the substance of the case to ensure that due process was followed and that the principles of fairness and justice were adhered to during the initial decision-making process.

The other committees listed do not have the jurisdiction to handle such appeals. The FIFA Disciplinary Committee is the body that makes the initial decisions on disciplinary matters, hence it would not serve as an appellate body. The FIFA Ethics Committee primarily addresses matters related to ethical conduct, not disciplinary appeals. Lastly, the FIFA General Assembly, as a larger governing body, does not get involved in specific case appeals. Therefore, the pathway for agents wishing to contest a disciplinary decision is clearly defined as being through the FIFA Appeal Committee.
