FIFA's chief legal and compliance officer, Emilio Garcia Silvero, explains that FIFA will fund the new transfer bank, which will be located in the Netherlands, and run operations with a dedicated team.

Garcia Silvero expects the clearing house to become operational this year.

“The Training Compensation 2.0 system will take a global approach, and ensure a more equitable distribution of funds to clubs that produce professionals,” he says.

The legal chief recognize that in the beginning the new system will create some inconvenience for clubs adapted to the old system “…but for sure it will increase transparency and good governance all around the world,” he says.
