The BFAA wishes to cooperate with the Belgian and international football governing bodies and authorities in order to realise the following goals:

• Develop a quality label for football agents, based on a fit & proper test (taking into account professional skills, experience, ethical behaviour and compliance with the rule of law).

• Creation of a solid legal framework for the regulation of the activities of football agents, clubs and players concerning all issues related to transfers, player agreements and representation. Such legal framework should include (without limitation):
  • strict rules on representation agreements between football agents and players & between agents and clubs
  • a regulatory guarantee on the stability of such contracts
  • a distinction between player representation, club representation and dual representation agreements
  • a transparent sanctioning and enforcement system, through an arbitration procedure, enabling to impose sanctions in case of infractions or other malpractices
  • Ban on the activities of “unregistered football agents” and a better control on registered football agents  working as a front for unregistered agents
  • Better protection of youth players and minors.

• Harmonise, simplify and regulate the payments to football agents:
  • Install a clearing house system for the payments of football agents’ fees
  • Install a modern and efficient software driven registration system for contracts between football agents and players

• Compulsory permanent education for football agents, controlled by the Belgian FA and Pro League.
