⚽ BONUS EPISODE ⚽ – A special supplement to Episode 58 featuring the full interview with @Erkut Sogut, the founder of the all-new 'International Federation of Football Agents' (IFFA).
In this exclusive conversation, Erkut shares his motivations for launching IFFA and how it aims to truly represent football agents worldwide. He addresses the reaction from football stakeholders, has FIFA engaged, and whether IFFA could have a role within FIFA’s Agents Working Group.
We also explore the challenges facing agents today—from improving their public image and navigating an evolving industry to the importance of education, networking, and finding a niche in a competitive market. Plus, Erkut discusses why FIFA's cap on agent commissions "just doesn’t make sense" and how self-regulation with FIFPro could reshape the industry.
A must-listen for agents, players, and football insiders! 🎙️
