ABOUT THE FOOTBALL AGENCY NETWORK
We are proud to announce that Eikon Sports Group has officially become a member of the Football Agency Network (FAN). FAN is the first Global Independent Network of Football Agents. They believe that by pooling forces together that we can provide new and better opportunities for professional footballers.
The FAN mantra of “stronger together” is what resonated with us at Eikon Sports Group and what opened our eyes to immense value and potential that joining FAN offered to not only our current and future clients but also our agency as a whole.
Within FAN there are over 30 member agents that represent 28 different countries, each with their own regional affiliations and connections. Networking and “who you know” is one of the most important characteristics for any football agent and management company. At Eikon we recognized a need to offer our clients more international opportunities and open doors for them that would not have been possible to open without a partnership like the one we’ve began with FAN.
FAN was founded by Patrick Deane and Imre Varadi, two prominent names in UK football circles. Patrick has been a football agent for over 25 years and created Quorum Sports after leaving Stellar Group. Imre Varadi is the other founder of FAN and Quorum Sports, he transitioned from a very accomplished professional career where he played for the likes of New Castle, Manchester City & Leeds United just to name a few and now is making waves in the Football Intermediary business thanks to his unparalleled connections in the UK.
“Through this partnership we will create more and more opportunities for our clients and future generations of North American footballers that join Eikon Sports Group. It is with great pride that we represent Canada and it’s footballers through FAN. In just a few short months we have already seen the opportunities FAN provides whether it be placing clients in new regions or our Zoom meetings where we listen to and speak with highly regarded image rights lawyers, athlete insurance experts or FIFA Match Agents. The opportunities are endless, and we look forward to a bright future together as FAN continues to grow and expand.” – Joshua Carabatsakis, Licensed Intermediary – Eikon Sports Group
