MFF recognize intermediary person to handle transfer matters

To ensure transparency in transfer matters and to ensure that players are not harmed, the World Football Federation has guided member countries to implement the Intermediary Licence, and the Myanmar Football Federation has implemented the Intermediary Licence since 2018.
Intermediary Licence is a recognized licence for an intermediary person who acts as an official intermediary between the player and the club in the case of internal or external transfer of the relevant FIFA member country.
There were three MFF Intermediary Licence applicants recognized by the Myanmar Football Federation to act as an intermediary person officially between the player and the club in domestic and international transfer cases for the 2023 football season. Clubs can handle transfer matters through them.
According to the MFF Regulations on working with intermediaries, Intermediary Persons will only be allowed to receive the player’s basic gross income for the entire duration of the relevant employment contract in handling transfer matters.
The term of the MFF Intermediary Licence is set for one year and if they want to continue, they need to pay the specified licence fee and renew the licence. Only those who get the right to act as an Intermediary Person will be legally allowed to carry out domestic and international player transfer activities with the MFF Intermediary Licence issued by the Myanmar Football Federation.
There were four MFF Intermediary Licence holders for the 2018-19 term, no applicants for the 2020-2022 term, and three applicants for the 2023 term.
The three recipients of the MFF Intermediary Licence for 2023 are Nigerian citizen Mr Mba Vitus Onyekachi (extended), Ghanaian Mr Stephen Mensah and Myanmar national U Pyae Phyo Han.
FIFA also announced in January 2023 that as an Intermediary Person of a FIFA member country, they can contact and apply for a FIFA-recognized agent licence through the relevant member country’s football federation. — KZL
