FIFA Football Agents in Dubai & the UAE — how to verify a licence
This page is a verification guide, not a directory. BoatFinder+ is a UAE marine marketplace; we do not act as a football agency, we do not rank agents, and we do not recommend any individual. Everything below points you to FIFA's own official sources.
Match Agent vs Football Agent
These are two different FIFA licence categories, and they are not interchangeable:
FIFA Match Agent — licensed to arrange matches between teams from different associations (for example international friendlies and tournaments). FIFA publishes an official Match Agents list.
FIFA Football Agent — licensed under the FIFA Football Agent Regulations to represent players, coaches and clubs in transfers and contract negotiations. This is a separate licence with its own exam and register.
A person holding one licence is not automatically licensed in the other category. Always verify the exact category you need.
For Football Agents, use FIFA's official documents library and the agent registers published by FIFA and the relevant member association (in the UAE, the UAE Football Association).
Ask the agent for their current FIFA credential for the exact category you need, and compare the name, licence category, association and validity against the official source. A credential in one category never proves a licence in another.
Treat third-party directories, social profiles and search results as leads, not proof. Only FIFA and member-association sources establish current licence status.
What BoatFinder+ does and does not do
We maintain a directory of FIFA Match Agents with a Dubai/UAE business address, read from FIFA's official list and published only after two-reviewer approval.
We do not operate a Football Agent directory and we do not route enquiries to Football Agents.
We never present a person as licensed in a category that the official source does not support.
