Registered FIFA intermediary, RGSports

“To be honest, FIFA has so many complicated rules! I knew I needed a teacher and classmates to be able to learn them all. The Pro Agent Academy staff and the environment they created with each week’s lessons made it very enjoyable to learn. I can’t wait to start representing players soon!”

“I’ve had the goal of becoming an agent for a very long time but never knew where to learn the ropes. I did a lot of research on companies that teach these type of courses and decided to go with Pro Agent Academy because of how forward-thinking and professional they seemed. And they didn’t disappoint! Wooley was an incredible teacher and I was able to build a great network with my classmates from different parts of the world”

Fernando Biansal

Agent in US & Argentina

“My father is an executive in Argentina soccer and we wanted to get into the player representation business to bring talent to America and Mexico. The Pro Agent guys were awesome. They taught me a lot of stuff I didn’t even know but most importantly, helped me build my network to sell players. Highly recommended course”

Aslaug Johansen

Female Football Agent

“When I was playing professional football in my native Norway, I had a really bad experience with my agent. Since then I knew I wanted to become one to help female players reach their dreams but I knew it was a hard industry to understand. Pro Agent Academy has given me the tools to be the agent I want to become.”
