After recently announcing the launch of an international consultation on the adaptation of article 17 of the Status and Transfer of Players (RSTJ), FIFA has taken the first concrete measures to initiate an in-depth consultation procedure which will allow to gather the views of key stakeholders.
Following the “Diarra” judgment, FIFA will initiate a dialogue regarding article 17 of the Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players
As a preamble, the governing body of world football has already invited several major players such as the European Club Association, FIFPRO and the World Leagues Association to examine the consequences of the judgment rendered by the Court of Justice of the European Union in the Diarra affair.
Still as part of this consultation process, it has also set up a platform to allow all parties concerned (whether groups or individuals) to share their thoughts by to November 15, 2024.
FIFA will be pleased to consider any constructive proposals regarding the existing regulatory framework in relation to Article 17 of the RSTJ. She therefore considers the judgment rendered in the Diarra case as an excellent opportunity to initiate dialogue and improve the regulations in force.
“We look forward to starting the discussion with the entire football community and collecting their comments on Article 17 of the Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players in a spirit of collaboration,” said Emilio García Silvero, Director of FIFA Legal and Compliance.
