It has already been over a year since FIFA excluded players’ agents from the football family. Starting from 1 April 2015, agents were left out of the dispute resolution system of international football governor FIFA, and from most national football federations, including the Football Union of Russia (FUR). Right after cancellation of Players Agents Regulations, i.e. 1 April 2015, the FUR refused for its jurisdictional bodies to be competent for any claim submitted by players’ agents. However, some of such claims were pending at the FUR, some of which were submitted in order to oblige the clubs and players to fulfill the decisions on merit. All of sudden, FUR’s internal bodies rejected most of the claims based on the fact that players’ agents were no longer subjects of football at the time of hearing for cases that took place after 1 April 2015. The question was therefore to know who was responsible for the execution of FUR decisions on agents’ cases.

Two specific CAS cases on players’ agents, who were denied jurisdiction by the FUR after 1 April 2015, will be observed in the following article. Both of them were mainly dealing with a crucial procedural principle of no retroactivity (for the sake of clearness of author’s discourse, no Lex Mitior existed in both cases).
