Training for Management and Staff

The AMLR does not only require football organisations to set up policies and procedures. Employees must know which obligations apply, how to recognise risks and how to act when there are signs of unusual transactions or suspicious activity.

Football Compliance Champs develops and provides practical AMLR training tailored to the reality of the football sector and to the roles and responsibilities of the participants.

Our approach

1. Identifying training needs

We start by mapping the training needs within your organisation. We look at the different target groups, existing knowledge and the specific risks and activities of your organisation. Based on this, we prepare a training plan that fits day-to-day practice.

2. Training materials

We develop training materials tailored to the football sector. The content is based on the requirements of the AMLR and supplemented with practical examples from the sector, such as risks relating to transfers, sponsor relationships, investors and commercial partnerships. This makes the training recognisable and directly applicable.

3. Training for the board and management

The board and management have specific responsibilities under the AMLR. We provide targeted training for this group, focused on:

  • strategic and supervisory obligations under the AMLR
    • the role of the board in determining risk appetite and policy
    • personal liability in the event of non-compliance
    • recognising red flags at board level

4. Training for compliance and operational staff

For employees involved in the daily execution of AML obligations, we provide a more operational training focused on:

  • the requirements of the AMLR and what these mean in day-to-day practice
    • performing customer due diligence and assessing risks
    • recognising and reporting unusual transactions
    • recording and documenting compliance activities

5. Documentation and demonstrability

After each training session, we provide clear documentation of the participants, the content and the date of the training. This is an important part of a demonstrably functioning compliance framework.

Training formats

We offer training in different formats, depending on the needs and possibilities within your organisation. This may include:

  • live workshops, in person or online
  • e-learning modules that employees can complete independently and at their own pace
  • combinations of both, for example an e-learning module as preparation for a live session

Training outcomes

After the training, your organisation will have:

  • board members and staff who are demonstrably trained in line with AMLR requirements
  • employees who can recognise risks and know how to act
  • training records that form part of the compliance framework
  • a stronger position for future audits and supervision
  • training materials tailored to the specific context of the football sector

Awareness as the foundation

A compliance framework only works if the people within the organisation know what is expected of them. We ensure that AMLR compliance does not only exist on paper, but is also embedded within your organisation.
