The FIFA Football Agent Exam is governed by a set of rules that outline the conditions for participation, the examination process, and the grading criteria. The purpose of these rules is to ensure transparency, fairness, and integrity in the examination process. FIFA reserves the right to amend these rules at any time and publishes them on its platform.
In this article , we will dive deep into the Football Agent Exam Rules. You can view and download both, the FIFA Football Agent Exam Rules and the FIFA Football Agent Study Materials, by clicking here.

Registration
Registration for the exam must be completed through the FIFA platform within a designated application period. The exam fee is mandatory and non-refundable. All candidates must undergo identity verification and a device compatibility check to ensure they have the required equipment—a laptop or PC with a camera and microphone, as well as a smartphone—and a stable internet connection.
Process
The exam is conducted online and lasts 60 minutes. Each candidate receives a unique set of questions, and a minimum score of 75% is required to pass. Only specific materials are allowed during the exam, including official FIFA study materials, a blank sheet of paper with a pen, and approved medical aids. Communication with others, the use of unauthorized software, or the presence of any communication devices is strictly prohibited. No breaks are permitted during the exam.
Breaches of Conduct
FIFA places great emphasis on adhering to conduct rules. Any attempt to cheat—such as communicating with others, copying answers, or using prohibited devices—results in immediate disqualification. However, candidates are allowed to use an unofficial translation tool at their own risk. Technical issues are only considered force majeure if they are reported during the exam.
Results
Once the exam is completed, results are communicated within 14 days via email. Candidates who fail can review their attempt within a limited period. Retaking the exam is possible, but all grading decisions are final and cannot be appealed. Candidates with medical conditions may request special accommodations, such as extra time or assistive technology, provided they submit the necessary documentation. FIFA invigilators monitor the exam, enforce the rules, and have the authority to cancel any exam attempt in case of violations. Technical issues that are not reported in time do not qualify for a retake. In exceptional cases, FIFA may allow a rescheduled exam session in response to unforeseen events.
Enforcement
These rules came into effect on March 4, 2025, replacing the August 2024 edition. Any matters not explicitly covered in the regulations will be decided by FIFA.
