The “Awaiting confirmation of player” status is a validation exception, meaning the transfer is blocked until the former association reviews and confirms the player’s identity.
If the transfer is delayed due to inaction from the former association, you should contact them directly using the contact details available in the Stakeholders > Associations tab in TMS. If no response or action is received, please contact the TMS Helpdesk, providing the transfer reference number, player’s name, and FIFA ID. The TMS Helpdesk will follow up with the former association and escalate the matter as necessary.
