Article 9

Section 9 - Circular Provisions

In cases of subsequent transfers from clubs belonging to the third or the fourth categories,


the new club is to pay the former club the costs which the latter incurred in training the


player as well as the training compensation costs which the latter paid when registering the


player. In case of a transfer from clubs belonging to the first or the second category, the


new club is to pay the former club only the costs which the latter incurred in training the


player. However, portions of these amounts may have to be allocated among different clubs


in the following circumstances:


(a)


For any transfer of a player from a club in the third or fourth categories to a club in a


higher category, 75% of the amount exceeding the costs of the category of the “old”


club, shall be redistributed on a pro-rata basis to all the clubs having trained the


player from the age of 12 onwards.


(b)


For any transfer of a player from a club in the second category to a club in the first


category, 50% of the amount exceeding the costs of the category of the “old” club,


shall be redistributed on a pro-rata basis to all the clubs having trained the player


from the age of 12 onwards.


(c)


For any transfer between two clubs of the same category, 10% of the training


compensation, corresponding to the training costs of the former club for the


transfers which take place inside the EU/EEA or to the training costs of the new club


in all other cases, shall be redistributed on a pro-rata basis to all the clubs having


trained the player from the age of 12 onwards.


(d)


If the career of the player cannot be traced back to the age of 12 any “missing years”


will be based on category four for the purposes of determining training compensation


and the amount will be distributed to the national association of origin of the player


and be earmarked for the training of young players.
