"Transfer of minors, squad sizes (in particular with respect to loans), player registration periods and transfer windows, financial regulation, and related matters, including collective bargaining agreements, sporting just cause and registration" are the regulatory aspects contained in the third package of reforms to the transfer system (see below) approved by the FIFA Council which met by videoconference on the eve of the 71st FIFA Congress, on 20/05/2021.

"The reforms were approved by the FIFA Football Stakeholders Committee (FSC) last Friday (14/05/2021) following an ongoing and wide-ranging consultation process conducted with key actors throughout the world of football. The latest package follows previous reforms that resulted in the creation of a clearing house and regulatory conditions to enforce the payment of training compensation," said FIFA.
