Fifa hopes the introduction of the transfer matching system in Ghana and many other countries will rid international transfers of unlicensed agents.

The web-based data entry program is used in the execution of player transfers between two professional clubs.

In May, a Fifa team took local participants drawn from the domestic premier league by the Ghana Football Association through a training programme over the use of the web-based program which replaces the existing paper-based documentation of player transfers.

The success of the program, according to Fifa would squeeze out unlicensed agents from international transfers.

Marco Villiger, FIFA's head of legal affairs, says that only 25 to 30 percent of international transfers were concluded through licensed agents.

"The system as it is now does not work, we realise this and this is why the new approach has been started," he told a media conference call.

"Reality has developed in a completely different situation to the regulations, so we have decided to launch a new approach rather than keep correcting the system."

The transfer matching system facilitates the movement of players between two clubs with the program registering a copy of the transaction with the sport governing body.

Input to the program is made by both clubs involved in the transfer and all entries made between both parties must correspond.

The proposal to introduce the transfer matching system was taken by the Task Force "For the Good of the Game" set up by the 2005 Fifa Congress in Marrakech.

The transfer matching system was piloted in January 2008 and has proven to be success.
