The primary purpose of FIFA General Secretariat Decisions is to provide official determinations, rulings, or administrative decisions issued by FIFA’s General Secretariat on matters relating to football agents, particularly where decisions are required on eligibility, compliance, or procedural and regulatory issues connected to the FIFA Football Agent Regulations.

Its main focus is to address matters such as the eligibility of football agent candidates or licensed agents, compliance with the FIFA Football Agent Regulations, and any procedural or regulatory matters not otherwise covered by the regulations. These decisions are published and updated through FIFA’s official channels to promote transparency on how agent-related issues are handled, and they form part of the official study materials for the FIFA Football Agent Exam. They may include real or anonymised cases, examples, and determinations made by FIFA’s administration.

The FIFA General Secretariat, as FIFA’s administrative arm, investigates whether individuals meet eligibility requirements to become or remain FIFA-licensed agents, reviews candidates and agents during the licensing process, and issues decisions where questions arise on the interpretation or application of the Agent Regulations (for example, whether documentation satisfies eligibility criteria). FIFA publishes selected decisions so candidates and agents can see how FIFA interprets and enforces the rules in practice.

These decisions typically cover eligibility determinations, regulatory compliance cases, and matters not expressly provided for in the regulations where the General Secretariat is empowered to determine how the rules apply. Students are advised to study this section extensively to become familiar with case studies and scenarios relevant to exam-style application of the rules.
