Overview

The 2014 FIFA World Cup™ reached an audience of 3.2billion viewers, nearly half the population of the entire planet, with more than one billion fans tuning in to watch the final in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, cementing football as the world’s most popular sport. With this popularity comes immense fortune. Football is now seen as a business venture for many, with routes into the game being taken out of a sporting context.

Involvement is now available to everyone, irrespective of your age, location or footballing experience, you can become a football intermediary and reap the benefits of being involved in the sport that many aspire to become a part of.

Traditionally football intermediaries were the only selected few people who had the connections and the licenses to work in this sector; this is no longer the case. With the recent de-regularisation in the industry, anyone, from any background, anywhere in the world has the opportunity to become an officially registered football intermediary.

Description

What is an Intermediary?

An Intermediary, otherwise known as an Agent, is someone who oversees professional and personal aspects of a football player’s life. These include overseeing the negotiations of transfers, contracts and sponsors to player relationships with clubs, friends, education and their own finances. An Intermediary acts as a guiding figure throughout a player’s career, making decisions based on what is best for the player and what the player wants.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
