A framework agreement, signed by the sports minister and the federation president, sets, for a period that cannot exceed four years, the number of agents likely to work for the federation at national and territorial level and defines the terms and conditions of their work. It may be updated each year.
It specifies the conditions for organising and paying for professional training for these agents.
This framework agreement is supplemented by regional technical team agreements signed by the rectors of academic regions and the presidents of regional leagues or committees, when staff carry out the duties of sports technical advisors under the responsibility of these authorities.
