FRANKFURT - Football's governing body FIFA has established a football agent working group, which will act as a permanent consultative body in relation to football agent matters, it said on Monday.

The federation recently approved new regulations to establish a fairer and more transparent football transfer system, including a mandatory licensing system, the prohibition of multiple representation to avoid conflicts of interest, and the introduction of a cap on agent fees, said German Press Agency (dpa).

The agent working group, which consists of 18 representatives from across the world, is a "key initiative that will enable us to continue our constructive dialogue with agent organisations across the world regarding the implementation of the new framework and any potential changes in the future," FIFA chief legal Emilio Garcia Silvero said. - BERNAMA
