The Kenyans will be part of a total of 6586 candidates from 138 different FIFA associations.

A total of 14 Kenyan agents have registered to take part in the first-ever FIFA exams that will be held in Nairobi on Wednesday,19th April.

The 14 will be part of a total of 6586 candidates from 138 different FIFA associations.

The purpose of the exam is to make them officially qualified by FIFA to conduct football agency services on a worldwide basis following the regulations stipulated by the world football governing body which came into force in January 2023.

In December 2022, new FIFA Football Agent Regulations (FFAR) were approved by the FIFA Council, and the new regulations then entered into force on 9 January 2023.

The new regulations have great practical significance for players, clubs, and football agents.

In connection with the implementation of FFAR, there will be a transition period until 30 September. Until this date, intermediaries/agents who are registered within the current system will be able to operate as normal, but from 1 October everyone who wants to work as an agent must have a FIFA license.

In order to obtain a FIFA license, one is required, among other things, to pass an agent exam.
