Answer key
C — Through TMS
The Transfer Matching System (TMS) is FIFA's official platform for processing international transfers and automatically identifying those that may trigger training compensation or solidarity mechanism obligations under RSTP Articles 20 and 21. All international transfers of professional players must be processed through TMS.
📄 RSTP Art. 20 + Annexe 4; FIFA TMS Regulations
A — Yes, but not always
Under RSTP Article 18bis, a 'third party' is any party other than the two clubs involved in a transfer or the player himself. A club can therefore be a third party in relation to a different transaction — for example, if Club A holds economic rights in a player being transferred between Club B and Club C.

D — Taking into consideration the law of the country, the specificity of sport, and other objective criteria
RSTP Article 17 sets out a multi-factor framework for calculating compensation when a contract is terminated without just cause. The calculation must consider: the law of the country concerned, the specificity of sport, and objective criteria including remaining contract value, fees paid to acquire the player, and whether the breach occurred within the protected period.
📄 RSTP Article 17
A — The FIFA Disciplinary Committee
RSTP Article 18ter concerns the prohibition on third parties acquiring influence over clubs' transfer or employment decisions. Jurisdiction for breaches of Article 18ter falls exclusively with the FIFA Disciplinary Committee, not the Football Tribunal (which handles contractual disputes) or the Ethics Committee.
📄 RSTP Article 18ter
D — Club A granting a percentage of the newly engaged player's economic rights to the investment fund
RSTP Article 18ter prohibits any arrangement whereby a third party acquires the right to share in the economic proceeds of a future transfer of a player. Granting a percentage of a player's economic (transfer) rights to an investment fund is expressly prohibited. Assigning broadcasting or ticketing revenue is permitted as those do not involve player economic rights.
