Under what circumstances can an agent's license be revoked?

An agent's license can be revoked primarily due to repeated violations or serious misconduct because such actions undermine the integrity of the profession and the regulations set forth by governing bodies like FIFA. The Agent Disciplinary Code emphasizes maintaining high ethical standards in the practice of agency in football. Serious misconduct may include unethical behavior, fraudulent activities, or violations of the code that impact the trust and professionalism expected from agents.

Repeated violations indicate a pattern of disregard for the rules, which causes further erosion of confidence in the agent's ability to operate within the established framework of professional conduct. The consequences for these actions are meant to uphold the credibility of agents and ensure that they act in a manner that protects the interests of all parties involved in sports transactions.

In contrast, minor infractions, inability to secure contracts, or failure to attend training sessions do not rise to the level of severity that would typically warrant the revocation of a license. Instead, these may lead to less severe consequences or corrective measures that allow agents to continue their practice while addressing any shortcomings.
