Welcome to the Football Regulatory Podcast — the show where global football governance meets regional realities.

Hosted by me — Andrew Marco Werners, a Canadian-Dutch Caribbean football lawyer and regulatory expert, this podcast unpacks the legal systems that shape the global game — and explains why the the northwestern hemisphere that is CONCACAF remains disconnected from football’s evolving regulatory frameworks.

Whether you're a club executive, licensed agent, federation official, players' union rep, or aspiring football legal professional — this show delivers what’s been missing: practical, digestable, regionally relevant insight into how football law actually works.

📌 In this episode, you’ll learn:

* 📉 Why CONCACAF Remains on the Sidelines of Global Football GovernanceDespite being home to 41 FIFA member associations, the region contributes less than 5% of football-related disputes — exposing a structural void in legal access, compliance, and institutional capacity.

* Introduction to Football Regulatory — and Why We’re Missing OutFrom agent licensing and training compensation to dispute resolution before the FIFA Football Tribunal, this episode breaks down what every serious football stakeholder needs to know.

* A New Platform for Access, Not GatekeepingBuilt by the only football regulatory consultancy in the Northwestern Hemisphere, this podcast translates elite legal knowledge into actionable strategy — empowering players, clubs, agents, unions, and administrators to engage with the global football economy.
