FIFA agent regulations: what changed in 2026

FIFA's revised football agent regulations continue to reshape how representation works at every level of the game. The caps on commission, the mandatory licensing requirements and the centralized FIFA Clearing House are no longer future concepts — they are operational reality.

For players and families, the most important shift is transparency. Every payment flows through a regulated channel, every representative must hold a valid license, and every agreement is subject to clearer dispute paths. That is a net positive for professional players who want to know exactly who works for them and how.

At FUTURO we welcomed these changes early. Smaller portfolios, personal attention and documented processes were already our standard; the new rules simply confirm that this is how serious representation should look.
