FIFAas we have already mentioned in MD and just confirmed the body itself, making it official that it has reached an agreement with all parties and football agents except FIFPRO Europe for an exceptional situation of article 17 of the Regulation on the Statute of the Transfer of Players regarding the consequences of breakups without reasonable cause. An article you may remember is on hold as a result of the decision of the EU Court of Justice on October 4 which ruled on the player’s complaint. Diarrhea woman and after the French player decided to break his contract without just cause in Lokomotiv Moscow. In it, the European Union forced to change its regulations because it was contrary to the free movement of players.
Among the conclusions determined by the decision is that the destination club does not have to pay any compensation for a player who breaks this contract without reasonable cause, in addition to the fact that he cannot be sanctioned with two advantages without signing. In this case it is the Belgian Charleroi. But it also obliges the club of origin to issue the transfer certificate so that the footballer can play for his new team.
This transitional agreement will only be applicable for the winter market that starts in the first days of January in the winter window. In this way FIFA want to avoid the scenario that could result from the absence of regulations.
In it, and as learned by MD, FIFA gives more power to national legislation and collective agreements between employers and unions in all countries of the world when it comes to determining compensation for players who have violated to the contract without just cause. Without it, FIFA will regulate these exceptional situations. The destination club will only be required to pay if it is proven that it influenced the termination of the footballer’s contract with the club from which he resigned.
But this provision is only temporary and unique for this market.
As soon as it’s over FIFA will continue to communicate with all agents so that before July 1, 2025, and on the occasion of the summer transfer window, there is a specific article that regulates these situations
