Article 90 Entrée en vigueur et application

This is a brief but essential commencement article that establishes when the regulation takes legal effect and, critically, when its obligations actually begin to apply in practice.

There is a notable split in the application timeline: while the regulation generally applies from 10 July 2027, a later date of 10 July 2029 is granted to a specific subset of obliged entities — those falling under Article 3, points (3)(n) and (o), which cover football agents and professional football clubs respectively.

Important points:

• The regulation enters into force twenty days after publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
• Apply the requirements of this regulation from 10 July 2027.
• If you are a football agent or professional football club as defined under Article 3, points (3)(n) and (o), your compliance deadline is extended to 10 July 2029.
