Six candidates sat for the exam and will be directly contacted by FIFA with their results in a week.

Candidates must obtain a score of 75% or higher to pass the exam.

According to FIFA, the introduction of the licensing system is a key component of the FIFA Football Agent Regulations (FFAR) as it raises the professional and ethical standards for the occupation of football agent, thus leading to an increase in the quality of the service that they provide to their clients across the football industry.

The use of licensed football agents will become compulsory from 1 October 2023.

The next exams will be administered in May and September 2024.
