What is the requirement for training compensation for a player’s first registration?

The requirement for training compensation for a player’s first registration is that it applies to every club that contributed to the player’s training from the age of 12. This means that any club that played a role in the development of the player during this critical training period has a right to receive compensation when the player is transferred to another club.

Training compensation is designed to recognize and reward clubs for the investment they make in developing young players. The system is established to ensure that clubs receive compensation for the training and development activities that occur when a player is younger and still in formation. Under FIFA regulations, the clubs that have trained the player from the age of 12 until they reach 21 are entitled to a share of future transfer fees, encouraging the development of youth talent and acknowledging the efforts of those clubs.

Other options do not align with the established regulations. Some suggest requiring compensation from clubs that registered the player at different ages or only from the last club, which does not reflect the holistic approach to recognizing the contributions of all training clubs in the player's career up to their first professional registration.
