Little bit blown away receiving this absolutely class piece from @_Munk_FC just before kickoff in the #NPLWNSW this arvo - what an honour!!

Old(ish) man yells at cloud. A cloud 99% of us love, but because it’s ⚽️…

What does it take to be a FIFA Licensed Agent? A lot of people are working in football representation right now without a licence. That is illegal and they know it. But the industry is beginning to get cleaner. If you want to operate long term, you need the FIFA Football Agent Licence. Here is how it works. First, you have to be eligible to get the license in the first place.. Article 5 of the FIFA Football Agent Regulations disqualifies you if you have serious criminal convictions, been bankrupted, ties to betting companies, ownership stakes in clubs or academies, or if you worked as an unlicensed agent in the last 24 months. FIFA checks everything to the best of their ability. You may not get to the next stage if you have issues with any of the above. The application window opens every January and closes in early March. For 2026 that deadline was 6 March. Whenever the window is open, you are register on the FIFA Agent Platform, choose your exam language, select your session, and pay a non-refundable fee of around £75. The price may vary tho. It was £150 when I wrote it. The exam itself is 20 multiple choice questions. It is done in 60 minutes and it is open book but limited strictly to official FIFA materials. You can't usethird party notes, YouTube videos, or anything else. The pass mark is 75 percent, meaning you need to get 15 correct answers out of 20. This part is a bit crazy tho- you are asked 20 multichoice questions in an open book exam and you think it's easy. The issue is that the study material is 1,100 pages long. So you actually need to study the material thoroughly before the exam. The exam has a 37% pass rate. You dont want to find out how in the hard way. The course topics cover the RSTP, FIFA Statutes, Ethics Code, the Clearing House, and safeguarding. It runs in late April or early May. Results come back in early June. This year's exams are being held in both months. If you pass the exam, you pay roughly USD 600 for the licence. Then USD 300 every year after that, plus mandatory continuing professional development to keep it active. The licence is global. It does not expire unless you don't renew or you lose eligibility. But understand this clearly: the licence is the entry ticket, not the destination. Most agents grind in lower leagues for years before building anything meaningful. As much as you need the license, you need good players and good network. Know that and know peace. I hope you have learned something today. My name is Ajoje.

F3 DERBY 🔥 It’s derby day at Pluim Park as Central Coast Mariners and Newcastle Jets go head-to-head in our League One Men's Match of the Round. Just two points separate the sides, with A-League academy pride on the line… who takes bragging rights this Sunday?
