Twenty six candidates will be sitting down for player agent examinations at the offices of the South African Football Association (SAFA) in Nasrec, south of Johannesburg.
The hour-long exam will take place on Thursday, 4 April 2013 at SAFA House, starting at 10h00.
The 26 persons will be required to have knowledge on several topics which include:
1. Player agent regulations,
2. Player transfer regulations,
3. Rights and obligations of player agents, players and the clubs,
4. As well as regulations and FIFA statutes on the status and transfer of players.
The topics covered in a player agent exam will ensure that the SAFA Accredited player agent complies with the regulations set regarding the introduction of players to clubs, overseeing the negotiation of the employment contract and concluding a transfer agreement in compliance with the provisions set forth in these regulations.
Once the candidates have passed the examination, they are ready to practice as SAFA Accredited Player Agents. After six months they will be recommended to FIFA to become FIFA Accredited Player Agents.
