LOMBARDI FOR
Football Agents

FIFA’s decision to re-regulate the football agent space has brought with it challenges for agents, clubs and players alike. The new FIFA Football Agent Regulations (FFAR) have resulted in a number of legal challenges before a range of courts and much uncertainty in the industry.
FIFA Football Agents, as they are now known following the reintroduction of a licensing system, play a pivotal role at the centre of negotiations between players and clubs. Lombardi Associates can assist FIFA Football Agents in areas such as representation contracts, ensuring they are acting within the regulations in relation to minors, as well as with arbitration and contract enforcement in case of a break down in the professional representation relations. We also have a demonstrable track record of ensuring they obtain the optimum result for their clients, in respect of favourable contract terms, assistance with contract negotiation, and of course, benefitting from the Lombardi Associates global network.
Additionally, we can assist candidates in preparing for the FIFA Football Agent Exam, with our Luca Pastore sitting and passing the exam in the first diet of its reintroduction, in 2023.
