Our 8-week online course is ideal for those who are looking to register as an intermediary and represent professional soccer/football players.
Our Soccer/Football Agent course is designed in two parts, initially focusing on the rules and regulations set by FIFA in regards to registering as an intermediary and regulations surrounding the transfer & status of players. The second part of the course concentrates on how to recruit, promote, negotiate and keep a client in-line with the current FIFA and domestic regulations.
In addition to those skills, students looking to become a Soccer Agent - Football Agent will learn:
The role and skills of a soccer agent - football agent
Sky Andrew is a former Great Britain Olympian and winner of three Commonwealth Game gold medals, a World Cup silver, and 14 National table tennis titles. After his competitive playing career ended in the mid-1990’s Andrew turned his focus to athlete representation.
While training in his youth, Andrew became friends with Sol Campbell who would go on to play 20-years in the premier league and represent England in the international competition for 11. It was Campbell who suggested Andrew get into athlete representation, and it was Campbell who became his first athlete client.
Since the initial signing of Campbell, Andrew has gone on to represent many high profile soccer players and television personalities including Jermaine Pennant, Jonathan Fortune, Adam Kwasarey, Marvin Sordell, and Jay Boothroyd. Other clients include James Anderson, Frank Bruno, TV presenters Sarah-Jane Mee and Natalie Sawyer.
Being mentored by someone as experienced in soccer agency as Sky Andrew is a unique opportunity to propel your career to new heights.

Craig Hughes
Before taking this course I was at a complete crossroads I had just finished my MBA in Sports Business Management and I knew where I wanted to go I just didn't know how to get there or even where to start. If I'm honest, even after signing up for this course I was still a little unsure if it was the right path, however over the past eight weeks the Sports Management Worldwide Football/Soccer Agent course has been widely beneficial for me, it has advanced me greatly towards where I want to be in my career and has helped me grow as a person. I now feel confident and a lot more knowledgeable to register as an intermediary and represent professional Football/Soccer players.

SMWW has exposed and opened up my knowledge of the sport Industry. I have been doing sport business casually, lacking the knowledge of what I am required to do and how to act during negotiations, approaching clubs and players. I encourage people who want a successful career to study with SMWW. I thought I knew it all but I was shocked to discover how little I know during the 8 weeks course. Thanks SMWW

Being an intermediary is something I have had interest in for a very long time, but I was reluctant to take the course, pay money, having it online and all. But after this course, I can say I am very pleased, I thought I knew a lot about dealing with players and the soccer agent job in a whole but SMWW has really been an eye opener. I loved everything about this course, the mentors were exceptional and my course mates were all good guys. If you want to get this course done, dont wait any longer, get on board now because what you take in will guide you in your quest to be an Agent forever.
