In accordance with the Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players (RSTP), international transfers are generally only permitted for players over the age of 18. However, from the age of 10, any international transfer of a minor player, or the first registration of a foreign minor, must be approved by the Players’ Status Chamber of the Football Tribunal. This is subject to the transfer meeting one of the exceptions defined in the RSTP.
Before submitting a minor application, the player’s age, nationality, place of residence, and the reason for the international transfer or first registration should be carefully assessed.
