FIFA agent

Pay in the destination countries

Monthly, in US dollars. Each country is an Imora admission package — open one for that route's fees, language requirement and deadline.

What does the day look like?

You negotiate, write, and account more than you watch football. O*NET lists the core tasks as negotiating clients contractual rights, developing contacts and career strategies, collecting fees and commissions under contract terms, scheduling engagements, managing business and financial affairs including travel, marketing and accounting statements, and tracking industry trends and deals. Under FIFA rules you also conclude representation agreements with players or clubs, operate inside the international transfer system, and complete continued professional development.

Named tools are the FIFA Agent Platform at agents.fifa.com for licence applications, customer relationship management software such as Salesforce, email and telephone — with 100% of surveyed workers using email every day and 100% using the telephone every day — plus Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word and Zoom, and video and data tools for presenting player footage to clubs. O*NET reports 94% in constant contact with others, 66% under time pressure every day, 68% rating exactness as extremely important, and 45% working more than 40 hours in a typical week. Work runs into evenings and weekends around transfer windows, with travel to matches and meetings and on-call deals closing against window deadlines across time zones, including night work.
