WELCOME TO THE “FIFA RESEARCH SCHOLARSHIP” ONLINE APPLICATION FORM

The management and implementation of the scholarship has been entrusted to the International Centre for Sports Studies (CIES) on behalf of FIFA. Before completing this application form, please ensure that you have carefully read and understood the Regulations of the Scholarship.

It is mandatory that the request for a scholarship grant is submitted to CIES using this application form. The application form must be filled out carefully and be completed with the requested supporting documentation. In particular, the “Research Project” (see section 4.2 of the Regulations) is a crucial document which is part of the supporting documentation, as it should convince the Selection Committee of the relevance and quality of the Research Project.

Important note:

In order to start the application, a personal account must be created on the FRS platform (available 1st of September). To do this, click on the "Login" button in the top right-hand corner and then on "Create account". You will automatically receive an email with a confirmation link. Once your account has been activated, you can login by clicking on the "Login" button again and entering your credentials.

For security purposes, your account is protected by double authentication. When you login for the first time, once you've entered your credentials, you'll need to scan a QR code from your smartphone by using the Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator App, which will provide you with a security token in order to enter the platform. This token will be requested each time you connect. Should you face any issues with the double authentication, please contact us using the email address provided below.

More instructions will be provided in the following steps within the online application form.

The submission deadline is 30 September 2024. Any application form and supporting documentation received after this deadline or via any channel other than the dedicated application form will not be considered as valid. Incomplete applications will automatically be rejected, and no amendments after submission will be accepted.
