TMS directly enforces FIFA’s Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players (RSTP). For example, it automatically blocks transfers of minors unless specific exceptions (like EU freedom of movement or family relocation) are met. This has been crucial in combating child trafficking in football.
Before TMS, transfers were often completed on napkins, via fax machines, or through handshake deals. This opacity led to money laundering, third-party ownership abuses, trafficking of minors, and contractual disputes.
A single typo—a wrong date of birth, a misplaced decimal in a fee—can collapse a multi-million euro deal. TMS is not perfect. It only covers international transfers (not domestic ones, like between two Premier League clubs). It also relies on honest data entry; it can't detect a secret verbal side contract that contradicts what's typed into the system.
