AML compliance support for football agents

The banks are already asking questions. The regulators are next.

EU Regulation 2024/1624 explicitly designates professional football agents as obliged entities from 10 July 2029. We build the compliance wrapper that protects your business and keeps it bankable.

Football agents sit at the centre of the sport's most complex financial flows. These can include commission structures, multi-jurisdiction transfers, minors' representation, image-rights vehicles, multi-party transactions.

EU Regulation 2024/1624 has changed everything.

  • Professional football agents are named as obliged entities under EU AML law from 10 July 2029

  • Agent-fee flows are within the scope of transaction monitoring requirements

  • Cross-border commission structures require documented source-of-funds analysis

  • USD 1.37 billion in men's professional agent fees in 2025 means the transaction volumes attract serious regulatory attention

The challenge facing football agents

What we build for football agents

Client Due Diligence (Players and Clubs)

KYC processes covering player onboarding, minor representation safeguards, UBO identification for image-rights vehicles, and risk-tiering based on nationality, jurisdiction and transaction complexity.

Commission Flow Analysis and Documentation

Agent commission structures (split payments, sub-agency arrangements, image-rights routing) require documented analysis against FIFA RSTP and EU AML transaction monitoring requirements.

Sanctions and PEP Screening

Configuration and management of ongoing screening for agencies representing players from higher-risk jurisdictions or operating in transfer chains with significant sanctions/PEP exposure.

EU AML Readiness (Cross-border Operators)

Cross-border agencies active in EU member states face the same readiness imperative as clubs. We run the diagnostic, build the framework and support you through the readiness cycle.

Banking Support

When your correspondent bank asks for AML documentation or raises concerns about your client or transaction profile, we prepare the response and attend the conversation.
