This phase involves FIFA reviewing the registration information submitted during the previous stage (the “Review” phase) and deciding whether to accept or reject any amendment requests for the final EPP. During this period, FIFA may request additional information from the relevant parties via the messaging function of the EPP.
Organisations should closely monitor any EPPs they are involved in to ensure that requests from FIFA are addressed within the specified deadlines. If additional information is requested, the EPP will move to “Completion” status, allowing the relevant parties to provide the required details.
In cases of factual or legal complexity, the EPP may be referred to the FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber (DRC), at which point the status will change to “Referred to the DRC.”
