A MAJOR PROBLEM IN FOOTBALL TODAY

 

 

Through the use of offshore companies for tax evasion, rich footballers are complicit in a moral breakdown in the world of football, a sport that much like art, is intended to inspire people. In recent times, famous footballers have mismanaged their wealth, sending their money to tax havens in far-off countries, such as Panama. In doing so, they have exploited the tax systems of their countries of residencies.

OUR MISSION

 

 

We seek to bring light to the evils of offshore money laundering to the future generation of footballers. Every athlete, especially when given misguided counsel from agents/representatives, is susceptible to dirty business. Fortunately, we are creating a program to give assistance to young players in football academies who see a future in the industry.

 

 

 

How will our program work?

 

·   Our program is a 12-week course that includes lectures from our team, testimonials from professional athletes, online homework, and interactive content.

·   The material is appropriate for young players between the ages of 15 and 20.

·   We accept any person considering a career in football (Please note, we will only consider serious inquires).

·   The program itself will cost $1,200 per student (for low income students, there are scholarship opportunities that we will assist with).

·   The content of the course is heavily based on business/sports law and requires proficient math skills.

·   Our team consists of former players and well-known representatives. We pride ourselves in being experts in the field of sports business.

 

 

 

Who do we work with?

 

·   Our first partner is Everton Football Club Academy in England.

·   Our goal is to partner with several football academies all over Europe and eventually other regions of the world.
