⚖️ The long-awaited Advocate General's Opinion on FIFA’s Football Agent Regulations (FFAR) has landed… but is it a definitive ruling or just another layer of confusion?
In this episode of The Agents Angle, we unpack FIFA’s perceived 'win', the grey areas in the AG’s analysis, and what it might all mean moving forward. 🇪🇺
We’re joined by renowned EU and sports law expert @Stefano Bastianon, to help break down the legal nuance.
PLUS : We also look at FIFA’s newly published Ethical Recruitment Guide aimed at agents. ⚠️ As well as contract (and transfer) conundrums posed to players and the agents, which even affect football's star players such as Kylian Mbappé and Paul Pogba, and what it says about the agent landscape today. 🎧
