SAN JUAN – FIBA announced that their next Player Agent's test will be held at the Sheraton Puerto Rico Convention Center Hotel & Casino in San Juan on Friday, May 21 at 10:30 am.

On 1 September 2006 the amended Internal Regulations of FIBA came into force. They contain, under Regulation H.5, the Regulation Governing Players' Agents.

These regulations govern the activities of Players' Agents who bring about or assist in the international transfer of players or coaches. The aim of these regulations is to make sure that a high standard of quality and transparency is guaranteed for the activities of players' agents and transfers worldwide.

Since 2007 a “Certification Process” has been put in place in order to implement these Regulations. A FIBA license will be mandatory to sign an international player's transfer as of this fall.

The Test will be given only in English and will consist in a multiple choice questionnaire which is based on FIBA Internal Regulation H5 Governing Players Agents and Internal Regulations H 1-2-3 Governing Eligibility–National Status & International Transfer of Players available on www.fiba.com under Experts/Agent corner.

You can download the application form by clicking here or by going to the FIBA Agent corner on their website. The documents should be sent to Ms. Francine Cullimore at francine@fiba.com. The deadline to send all the required documents is on April 12, 2010.

Should you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Zoran Radovic at the FIBA headquarters in Geneva at radovic@fiba.com and/or Ms Francine Cullimore at her office number +41 22 545 00 00.
