FIFA ratifies revised players transfer regulations

The FIFA Executive Committee ratified the revised Regulations for the Status and Transfer of Players which will come into force on 1 July 2005. Amendments in the revised regulations are made in respect to the restriction on the number of transfers per calendar year, allowing a player to be transferred twice within the same calendar year if the contract between the club and player has been cancelled with mutual consent before the second transfer is completed. Further amendments are made in respect to loans of players, where now a player who has been loaned to another club but then returns to his original club may be loaned to a second club, provided that since his return to his original club, he has only trained there and has not played in any matches for his original club. The revised regulations will also allow a single judge to rule in disputes on behalf of the Dispute Resolution Chamber. The new regulations will also have a new, more consistent structure and will contain the provisions and additions that FIFA has issued via circular letters since the adoption of the current transfer regulations on 1 September 2001, especially with regard to international registration transfer certificates and the provisional registration of players.
