List of Players 118. A blank list is sent to the national member federations about eight (8) months before the beginning of the competition. The list has space for twenty-four (24) names of players and six (6) names of coaches. In selecting a team for a Competition of FIBA in one of the age groups mentioned above, a national member federation shall fill in the List of Players and Coaches. 119. The list must be returned to the FIBA Secretariat two (2) months before the competition is due to start, together with the necessary documents required to prove eligibility for all the players and coaches on the list (see article 3-120 for exceptions). Failure to meet this deadline shall result in financial penalties being imposed by FIBA (as stipulated in article 3-303). The List of Players and Coaches must be completed for: a. All age categories from U-17 upwards. b. For all phases of competition: Qualifying Round, Semi-Final Round, and Final Round. 120. Changes may be made to the List of Players and Coaches before the given deadline provided that they are accompanied by any documents which may be required to prove eligibility of players or the holding of a FIBA Approved Coach License respectively. This list is considered final as of the given deadline, except that changes may be made after the deadline in exceptional circumstances only and the national member federation involved will attract a fine as stipulated in article 3-303. 121. No registration and no additional documents will be accepted later than seven (7) days prior to the beginning of the competition. Under no circumstances shall any player(s) be added or replaced to/from the List of Players and Coaches after the deadline of seven (7) days prior to the beginning of the competition. 122.

Responsibility of National Member Federations 125. The national member federation is responsible at all times for the eligibility of its players noted on the List of Players. 126. Upon discovery that a player has played in an official FIBA competition without being eligible, FIBA will initiate inquiry to establish the player's eligibility according to these Regulations. 127. The national member federation will bear the administrative costs of the inquiry provided for in 3-126 and will be liable to a fine as stipulated in article 3-303 and/or a suspension in accordance with the procedure established in articles 1-126 to 1-136. 128. In exceptional cases, the Secretary General (after consultation with the Chairman of the Legal Commission) may authorise a player to play under the status he had before the irregularity was discovered. Identity and Age Verification 129. Before the beginning of a competition, players will be subject to identity and age verification under the supervision of the FIBA Commissioner for that competition. 130. Each player, accompanied by the person responsible for his team, shall present his currently valid individual passport or national identity card and FIBA Identity Card. If it is a newly issued Identity Card, it must be signed by the player in front of the FIBA Commissioner and the person responsible for the team. After this verification, the FIBA Commissioner shall return the FIBA Identity Cards to the person responsible for the team. General Provisions 131. These provisions shall be valid also for any tournaments or games that are held prior to the competition proper. 23
Chapter IV. - Players’ Agents 132. These rules govern the activities of players’ agents (hereinafter referred to as “Agent[s]”) who undertake to bring about or assist in the international transfer of players or coaches (players and coaches are hereinafter also referred to as “Players”). 133. Any national member federation which deems it necessary may establish its own regulations governing players’ agents who deal with transfers within their own federation. Such regulations must be approved by FIBA and must respect the principles set out below with respect to agents, players, and clubs. General Matters 134. Players are entitled to use the services of an Agent to represent them or safeguard their interests in negotiations with clubs. The Agent must be in possession of a valid license issued by FIBA. 135. Clubs are entitled to use the services of Agents to represent them or safeguard their interests in negotiations with players. The Agent must be in possession of a valid license issued by FIBA. 136. Players and clubs are not permitted to use the services of a non-licensed agent. 137. Article 3-136 does not apply if an agent is licensed to practise law in the country of his permanent residence. Granting the License 138. Any individual wishing to act as an Agent shall file an application with FIBA on the Standard Application Form provided for that purpose. 139. FIBA shall require the candidate to provide a certificate confirming that he is in good standing and, in particular, that he has no criminal record. 140. Individuals only may apply for a license. Applications from companies or organisations are not admissible, but individuals who have obtained a license are allowed to operate through a company or a similar entity, provided that the license-holder continues to be the only person responsible vis-à-vis FIBA. 141. An application may be rejected if the candidate is not in good standing, in particular if he has a criminal record or does not have a good reputation. 142. A person applying for an agent’s license may not, under any circumstances, hold a position within or be otherwise involved personally or through third persons in FIBA, a Zone, a member federation, a club, or any organisation connected with such entities such as leagues or players' associations. 143. If an application for an agent's license is admissible pursuant to articles 3-141 and 3-142 above, FIBA shall invite the candidate for a personal interview and a test (see article 3-144 24 below), unless this requirement is waived by the Secretary General in the individual case. Persons who hold a current certificate to practice law in their country of permanent residence are not required to undertake the interview and test in order to become an accredited players’ agent but they must fulfill all other requirements. 144. The personal interview and the test are intended to enable FIBA to ascertain whether the candidate: a. Has adequate knowledge of the basketball regulations (the General Statutes and Internal Regulations of FIBA, of the Zones, and of the national member federation on whose territory he is domiciled); b. Generally appears capable and suitable of advising a player or club who calls on his services. 145. If the requirements of article 3-144 are not met, the application will be rejected. 146. FIBA is entitled to charge expenses and/or a fee for conducting the interview and the test. The candidate shall bear his own expenses. 147. FIBA may charge an annual fee not exceeding that stipulated in article 3-305. 148. Within thirty (30) days after the personal interview and the test, FIBA shall inform the candidate whether the requirements under article 3-144 above have been met. 149. In order to obtain a license the approved candidate shall prove to FIBA that he has taken out professional liability insurance for no less than CHF 250,000 with an insurance company acceptable to FIBA. 150. If the requirements under articles 3-144 and 3-149 have been met, FIBA shall issue a license to the approved candidate and shall inform the respective Zone accordingly. The license shall be strictly personal and non-transferable. 151. If the national member federation of the country in which the candidate is domiciled enacts or has enacted regulations governing the activities of players’ agents, then the Agent shall prove to FIBA that he is the holder of a valid license issued by that federation, provided that the regulations of the national federation have been approved by FIBA in terms of article 3-133. 152. FIBA shall publicise on its website a list of licensed Agents and their clients (clubs and players), and shall update this information regularly. Keeping the License Current 153. Beginning at the end of the year in which the Agent's license has been issued, an Agent shall attend every two years a seminar organised by FIBA in order to update the Agent on new developments concerning agents' activities and to verify that the requirements for the issuing of the license are still met (see article 3-150). 154. An Agent must pay the annual fee provided for in article 3-147. 25
