Abstract This conference will explore the evolution of football agents, from FIFA Players' Agents to the more recent FIFA Football Agents. The conference will commence by examining the operational methods of FIFA Players' Agents under FIFA's guidance, followed by an exploration of the transition to agents licensed by national associations. Subsequently, we will delve into the role of intermediaries and their functions, before addressing the rise of FIFA-licensed Football Agents and the broader scope of their responsibilities. Throughout this conference, we will observe the changing dynamics of representation in football (and beyond), and its impact on the governance and commercial aspects of the sport.

Over the past 17 years, since his departure from Switzerland, he had the privilege of legally representing numerous football clubs, players, coaches and agents/intermediaries of various nationalities, as well as national associations, particularly before UEFA, FIFA and CAS. In June 2023, he was appointed Judge of the Agents Chamber of the FIFA Football Tribunal.
