ZIU Sports Group

Our philosophy

We believe that in 2018, professional athletes are much more than someone who happens to be talented at a sport.

A football player in many ways is comparable to a brand. In order to optimize a career, all the aspects of this brand need to be professionally taken care of. Long term career planning, endorsement deals, a polished approach to social media and intermediary services that will leave you with a contract that displays your value as an athlete.

To ensure that you can focus on your career, we provide services in all these areas.
