Licence Key For Fifa 22

[Joy Wida]

Article24 of the FFAR governs this scenario.

As a first step, the national licensing system established by the relevant national law must be recognised by FIFA. If the relevant member association has successfully completed the process for its national licensing system to be recognised by FIFA, sports agents licensed under such systems are exempt from the requirement to pass the FIFA exam for the Football Agent licence.

The UEFA coaching licences are documents testifying credentials of coaches among members of UEFA. UEFA, the governing body for football in Europe, mandates several coaching licences for professional managers, each valid for coaching at a certain level for all members of the organization. These include the UEFA Pro Licence, the UEFA A Licence, and the UEFA B Licence. They are issued by each UEFA member state's football federation and are valid for three years.

The UEFA Pro Licence is the highest coaching certification available in Europe and generally follows the completion of the 'B' and 'A' licences. [1] [2] A Pro Licence is required for anyone who wishes to manage a football club in the top tier of any European nation's league system on a permanent basis, i.e. more than 12 weeks (the amount of time an unqualified caretaker manager is allowed to take control). Such a licence is also required to manage in the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League.[3][4]

The UEFA A Licence is one level below the UEFA Pro Licence and allows holders to be head coaches of youth teams up to age 18, reserve teams (also known as 'B' teams) for top-flight clubs, and men's professional second-tier clubs.[5][6]

Last week, EA shared the surprise news it's currently "exploring the idea of renaming" its long-running FIFA football series - and we might now know why; a new report claims the football association wants EA to pay "more than double" its current deal to continue using its licence.

According to the New York Times, the current ten-year agreement between EA and FIFA comes to an end in 2022, and negotiations to extend that deal are due to conclude this year. However, "at least two years of talks" are said to have now stalled as the two parties struggle to agree on specifics, with FIFA wanting to increase the cost of its licence to "more than $1 billion for each four-year World Cup cycle" - perhaps eager to capitalise on the exponential growth of Ultimate Team, which made EA $1.62bn in its 2021 financial year, mostly through FIFA.

However, that's not the only sticking point; the New York Times' sources say the companies have also failed to agree on what the new deal should cover. EA is apparently keen to explore other avenues using the FIFA licence, such as video game tournaments and digital products like NFTs, while FIFA wants to limit the scope of the deal to pursue new opportunities itself.

While negotiations between FIFA and EA continue, the latter certainly appears to be laying the groundwork to forge ahead without FIFA's globally recognised licence. A trademark filing was recently spotted on the websites of the United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office and the European Union Intellectual Property Office suggesting EA is readying to adopt the moniker "EA Sports FC" for its football games.

While EA's relationship with FIFA is looking increasingly wobbly, the publisher yesterday confirmed it would be renewing its contract with FIFPRO, enabling it to continue using "thousands of player names and likenesses" alongside various official leagues - a move EA said would help it "deliver the greatest, most authentic football [video game] experience".

The reason they gave up the FIFA licence is that FIFA itself was asking for too much money and in reality all you get for the $1 billion fee is the right to use the name and including the World Cup in your game.

A UEFA B licence holder must be able to provide players and teams with a positive experience to enhance their performance through knowledge and skill acquisition. Successful coaches on the Scottish FA / UEFA B Licence must demonstrate competence in the following four areas by the conclusion of the course:

In addition to the above, candidates whose UEFA C Licence or UEFA Goalkeeping B Licence was achieved through another National Association must include the following documents:

After losing the rights over Juventus and AS Roma, EA Sports takes another hit from their main competitor Konami that announced earlier today an exclusive agreement with SSC Napoli for eFootball PES series.

It goes without saying that this new partnership will see the club fully authentic with badge, kits, stadium and face scans. Former club stars like Ciro Ferrara, Antonio Juliano or Careca might join Diego Maradona in myClub (FUT equivalent) as Legends too.

Napoli will be the 4th Serie A club that Konami manages to partner with in recent years after Juventus, AS Roma and Lazio. The Japanese videogame developer also owns the exclusive licence for Serie B.

In an announcement made earlier this week, video games publisher Electronic Arts has confirmed that it will not renew its licence with football world governing body FIFA to make FIFA branded football games.

Therefore, the summer transfer window in 2023 will be the last transfer window in which the current regulatory regime will apply. Thereafter, all agents will need to be licensed before carrying out any agency activity and the new regulations will be fully operational except that it is understood the new rules on acting as a football agent will not apply to transactions involving representation contracts concluded prior to 16 December 2022 even if the transaction takes place after 1 October 2023. This would mean that the cap on commissions and limitations on multiple representation would not apply in those instances.

The FIFA Agent Regulations will govern the activity of football agents with an international dimension, such as transfers involving an international transfer of a player. In domestic cases, the activities of football agents will be governed by the regulations of the relevant national association who are obliged to implement regulations which are consistent with the FIFA Agent Regulations by 30 September 2023. National associations can only deviate from the FIFA Agent Regulations if there is a conflict with national laws and it should be noted that they can introduce stricter measures if they wish.

Agents can apply for a licence via the agent platform from 9 January 2023 however the exam will only be held periodically and applications to sit the exam will only be accepted during specific windows. The agent exam windows in 2023 are as follows:

FIFA licenses will only be issued to natural persons and only licensed agents can directly perform agent services or approach any potential client. This means that agencies cannot obtain a licence although agents may still conduct their business via an agency.

The failure to satisfy any of the eligibility requirements will result in an agent being prohibited from sitting the FIFA football agent exam and their licence application being denied. If an agent fails to comply with these requirements at any time after being granted a FIFA licence, he/she may get his/her FIFA licence suspended or withdrawn.

Representation contracts concluded prior to 16 December 2022 will remain valid until they expire and it is understood that those representation contracts will not be subject to new rules no matter when the transaction takes place. However, any new representation contracts or renewals of existing representation agreements concluded after 16 December 2022 must comply with the new regulations from 1 October 2023 and, if necessary, contractual terms will have to be varied in order to avoid possible sanctions. For example, the regulations state that only natural persons can enter into a representation contract with a client for the provision of services and so whilst an agent may conduct business through an agency, it seems at this stage that the common practice of representation contracts being in the name of the agency will no longer be permitted. Similarly, FIFA will not allow any claim for commission in excess of the relevant service fee cap even if it is based on a representation contract concluded between the 16 December 2022 and 30 September 2023.

Therefore, agents must now have the new rules in mind when concluding representation contracts going forwards and also review existing agreements concluded after 16 December 2022 to ensure that they are compliant.

Representation contracts shall be valid for a maximum period of two years and any automatic renewal provision, or any other provision that purports to extend any term of the representation contract beyond the maximum period, will be null and void. Agreements concluded between agents and clubs will not be subject to a maximum duration.

Any clauses which limit the ability of an individual (i.e. a player or coach) to autonomously negotiate and conclude an employment contract without the involvement of an agent or penalises an individual if they autonomously negotiate and/or conclude an employment contract without the involvement of an agent will be null and void. This appears to prevent a fee still being payable to an agent in the event that a client represents himself in which case this is an important change for agents as it is currently standard practice to stipulate in representation contracts that a commission will still be payable in the event that a player negotiates a contract autonomously without the involvement of an agent.

An agent may only execute one representation contract with the same individual at any one time however multiple representation contracts may be concluded between agents and clubs providing they relate to different transactions.

Before representing a minor or a club in a transaction involving a minor, agents must first successfully complete the designated CPD course on minors and comply with any requirement to represent a minor established by the law applicable in the territory where the minor will be employed.
