A professional player may be loaned to another club on the basis of a written agreement between him and the clubs concerned. Any such loan is subject to the same rules as apply to the transfer of players, including the provisions on training compensation and the solidarity mechanism.
Subject to article 5 of the FIFA statute of October 2020, the minimum loan period shall be the time between two registration periods.
The club which has accepted a player on a loan basis is not entitled to transfer him to a third club without the written authorization of the club that released the player on loan and the player concerned.
