In December 2023, FIFA revealed that football clubs spent a record $881.1million (£701m) on agent fees in the 2023 calendar year.
This is an increase of 42.5 per cent from 2022, where teams spent $623.2m (£492m) on agents and more than the previous record of $654.7m (£516.9m), which was set in 2019.

FIFA’s Football Agents in International Transfers Report also revealed that clubs from England paid the largest amount in agent fees, totalling more than $280million (£221.1m).
In November 2023, football agents in England won a ruling against the introduction of FIFA’s new football agent regulations. An FA tribunal deemed the regulations would breach British competition law following an appeal from four leading agencies.
The FA had initially delayed the introduction of the regulations — which included capping an agent’s commission at three per cent on all player salaries over £161,000 and limiting payments to agents for brokering transfers to ten per cent of the fee — following an appeal.
The ruling stated the introduction of the fee cap and and pro rata payment rules would breach the Competition Act 1998.
The new regulations had been introduced by FIFA to raise “professional and ethical standards” and had initially been set to come into play in England on October 1. They include agents having to pass an exam if they are to continue to operate, as well as changes to rules concerning the representation of multiple clients in a transaction and the representation of minors and the capping of agent fees.
