Faro: a feast for football agents?

Jiggerman21 · Post by **Jiggerman21** » Tue Dec 30, 2003 5:42 pm

The longer the Faro debacle carries on the more I begin to think it is merely a trade fair. Perhaps football agents are being called to have a look at potential clients. In which case, it's not such a bad thing as opportunities will be created for more players. I just wish it could be held as a separate event though, so it doesn't affect the SE preparations.

Anyway, enough of the conspiracy theory. Now to my real question. Does anyone know how to become a football agent? who to contact? qualifications required? lifestyle? etc.

If you can't beat them, join dem.

I wish you were in Dublin during the Ireland V Nigeria, prio to the world Cup, you would have seen hundreds of Agents in the Hotel Lobby negotiating with players. It was really a trade fair.

If you want to become an agent ,you can visit the FIFA SITE.

Jiggerman21,
Most of the people you come across in FARO are scouts attached to agents. You will hardly see any FIFA licensed agents there except they are there to tie in a contract. Agents are big dudes my fren. Many of them are successful social scientists, accountants, lawyers, engineers, medical doctors etc. They are the ones that do the REAL THING. Most of the good players that are not scouted are normally doomed or end up playing amatuer football.
