FIFA Transfer Rules Change January 1

Starting January 1, FIFA's new Transfer Status Regulations will introduce modified protected periods for footballers. Under 23-year-olds will now have different protected terms compared to players aged 23-27, 28-31, and 32+ years, with each age bracket experiencing adjustments to their previous protection periods. afsport.lat

The changes affect how long players remain protected from transfer regulations, with specific modifications for each age group. These reforms mark a significant shift in FIFA's approach to player transfer rules and their application across different career stages.
