Has the beautiful game of Football(soccer) made a deal with the devil? @folatabiyi/has-the-beautiful-game-of-football-soccer-made-a-deal-with-the-devil-4794a2fda401" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@folatabiyi/ha…

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.

Do you know the interesting thing about this? Before 2034, they are going to build 11 new stadiums and refurbish 4 existing ones. They’ll complete the construction of 11 new stadiums from the scratch and Nigeria still won’t have steady supply of Electricity.

From Sefton Road to Vicarage Road to Villa Park to Wembley to Old Trafford to San Siro back to Villa Park to Goodison Park and finally to Portman Road. It’s been some journey that I only dreamt of as a boy! But with this dream there has to be an ending and Saturday might be the Last Game Of My Professional Career🤘🏾💛💜🤍❤️💙 23 years and OUT! To be continued….

Dear @Alookman_ When Olise picked France and Musiala picked Germany, you chose Nigeria. They took the easy route, you took the hard one , that’s what great footballers do. For your sacrifices, I’m backing you today. Go show the world you’re the best LW on the planet. Sink Mosquera. Sink Arteta. Sink Arsenal. Sink their fans. Your biggest fan, Olivia 💕

It is good that the media is showing concern for Jack Grealish's wellbeing. Players are human & compassion matters. It is also speaks volumes about the difference in treatment compared to Marcus Rashford. Grealish's off-field pattern is objectively worse: At Villa he was pictured inhaling nitrous oxide balloons, pictured lying drunk on the ground in the road in Tenerife, all night hotel party with police called, clubbed hours after heavy defeats (dropped to U/21s). 2020 drunk-drove, crashed his £80k Range Rover into parked cars & a wall, stank of alcohol, slurred speech, fled scene, an £82k fine & 9 month ban. 2025 £20k Christmas party ending in strip club at 4am, then missed Everton game citing illness. Rashford for comparison; overslept/late, dropped. Clubbed after derby loss. Two nights clubbing in Belfast heavy drinking, claimed illness, missed one training (while fit), apologised, dropped for one FA Cup game & heavy fine. Speeding 104 mph, 6 month ban. The same media that called for Rashford to “focus on football” now offers Grealish compassion & understanding. Treat every player to the same standard of care & accountability.

All Pogba did was dance btw.

Are you people seeing it? Or are you still pretending to be asleep?

@OneMotolani May God forgive you for saying Kvara is better than Mane.

@BBCSport So nw yall wanna give him good PR Okay o

Continuing his work off the pitch 🙌 Jack Grealish extends his role as a Special Olympics ambassador for another three years, having played a key role in raising the visibility of athletes with intellectual disabilities since 2022.

VAR was like no let me steal the headline Because what stupid penalty is that

The exact same Telegraph when Rashford was not even pictured drunk in Belfast. Media Bias yet again🤣

30 years old Grealish needs help and guidance for being an alcoholic, but Rashford and Sterling are paraded as the worst people just because one was feeding kids and the other bought a house for his mum while both were in their early 20s. They’re not even hiding the racism anymore.

Mbappe & Vini’s egos ain’t nuttin Jose can’t handle. RUNNNNN ITTTTT
