How Much Does the FIFA Agent Exam & Licence Cost?
Updated 2026-07-03
Short answer
Applying is free, but the exam fee is USD 400 (paid to your national association — it varies by country, e.g. USD 600 at US Soccer). Once you pass, the licence costs USD 600 the first year, then USD 300 a year.
What you pay, step by step
Becoming a licensed FIFA football agent has three cost stages: applying, sitting the exam, and holding the licence once you pass.
| Item | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Application | Free | — |
| Exam fee | USD 400 | Paid to your member association; varies by country (e.g. USD 600 at US Soccer) |
| Licence, year 1 | USD 600 | Paid after you pass, before the licence activates |
| Annual renewal | USD 300 | Due before 1 October each year |
What the licence actually gives you
The licence fee isn't just a formality. It covers access to FIFA's agent platform (where deals and representation contracts get registered), continuing professional development (CPD) requirements, and access to the Football Tribunal for dispute resolution.
The real first-year total
Add it up: USD 400 to sit the exam, plus USD 600 for the first year's licence once you pass — USD 1,000 minimum before you can legally represent a player or club, excluding preparation.
Preparation is a separate cost, and it's where budgets diverge the most: some prep courses charge several times the exam fee itself for a fixed curriculum and generic practice tests.
