Official Currency Partner: FIFPRO·PFA·RLPA·FCA
Eleven years of direct relationships with the athletes, agents, and federations who move serious money across borders. Over $1B managed, with regulated infrastructure across global markets and partner FX volume of $275B annually behind every trade.
20-minute call. No fee, no obligation. We model the exposure and tell you if there is a strategy worth running.
Currency moves of 10 to 20 percent are routine in sport. On a $1 million contract, that is hundreds of thousands of dollars gained or lost before the player has played a minute. On a $10 million transfer or club investment, it is millions before the deal has settled.
The major banks treat sports clients like any other corporate. The retail FX brokers do not understand the rhythms of transfer windows, contract structures, prize money, or capital calls timed to club acquisitions. We sit between them, focused entirely on the sport sector, with institutional-grade infrastructure behind every trade.
Eleven years in. Over a billion dollars managed. We are the official currency partner to FIFPRO Asia/Oceania, the PFA, the RLPA, and Football Coaches Australia. We have delivered FX education and member benefit sessions to MLSPA, FIFPRO Africa, and the European Cycling Alliance. The federations keep inviting us back because the work holds up.
For professional athletes moving income, contracts, and bonuses across borders.
Most athletes take a silent pay cut. Contracts get signed in one currency and spent in another. Wages, bonuses, signing fees, image rights, prize money. Each one a moment where the market can quietly take 5 to 15 percent before the funds arrive.
We build a strategy around the contract before the transfer happens. Forward contracts to lock rates in advance. Market alerts so timing decisions are informed. Multi-currency accounts where the money is held for as long as it needs to be. No hidden fees, no surprises, no bank-rate margin.

For agents and management groups protecting player earnings.
You negotiate the contract. We protect what comes after it. Currency strategy sits alongside you when you're looking to protect your client's earnings. The banks don't bother to explain it. The gap is where players quietly lose value.
The agent who brings in a currency specialist before a player needs one builds the kind of relationship that compounds. Your client feels protected end-to-end. You stay closer to every cross-border decision. The next contract conversation starts from a position of trust.

For federations, player associations, and member-benefit programs.
We are the official currency partner to FIFPRO Asia/Oceania, the PFA, the RLPA, and Football Coaches Australia. Our role is to give member athletes access to specialist FX education, strategy, and execution they would not otherwise have, and to optimise the association's own international flows.
For the PFA alone, the partnership has put over $300,000 back into members' pockets compared to traditional banking. The model is simple. Education first, execution second, member protection always.

For clubs, ownership groups, sports private equity, and capital allocators.
Club acquisitions, staged capital calls, cross-border player transfers, infrastructure investment. The capital flowing through professional sport now sits at a scale where the FX exposure is no longer incidental. On a $50M staged deployment, a 5 percent currency move is $2.5M of outcome that has nothing to do with the underlying investment thesis. It is profit or loss decided by currency markets, not by the quality of the deal.
We work with ownership groups and sports-focused capital to hedge that exposure cleanly. Forward contracts of 6 to 24 months matched to the capital call schedule. Multi-currency holding accounts. Local US, EU, and UK payment infrastructure through our regulated partners. ACH and direct debit capability for US-based flows. A specialist sitting closer to the deal than any bank desk will.

For sports tour operators, travel businesses, and international event organisers.
International sports tours run on tight margins and multi-currency flows. Operators take deposits in one currency, pay suppliers and venues in another, and settle final balances months later when the rate may have moved 5 to 10 percent. Without a strategy, the FX exposure can quietly absorb the margin on the entire tour.
We work with tour operators and sports travel businesses to lock rates on supplier payments, hold deposits in the currency they will be paid in, and run multi-currency settlement through one dashboard. The same specialist capability that protects athlete contracts, applied to the operational FX of running international sport.

An Australian athlete with a seven-figure USD deal. A limit order at 1.5200 on a $900K spot transfer triggered during the November election volatility, adding $27,000.
A forward contract at 1.5835 on the $1.1M July settlement locked the rate when the market later dropped to 1.5107, adding $80,080.
Appointed Official Currency Partner to the PFA in 2023. Supported 60+ players including 20+ national team members on transfers into and out of Australia. FX turnaround reduced from one week to one or two days.
Conversion savings averaging over 4% on USD to AUD. Transfer fees on small payments, including education grants, removed entirely.
A client selling into Europe in EUR, paying suppliers in USD, with pricing margins built at 1.08. By the time contracts were active, the market had moved to 1.17. We structured a two-year forward at 1.17, locking nine cents of buffer.
EUR/USD ran up to 1.20 then back to 1.04 across the term. The downside was eliminated for the full two years.
I only ever wanted to be a footballer. Injury had other plans. That turning point led me into the world of foreign exchange, where I found a new way to compete. Helping others protect what they have earned.
SportsFX was built on lived experience. The pressure of contracts, the rhythm of transfer windows, the quiet way currency can undo years of hard work. Eleven years on, the practice now sits across three regulated regions and one direct presence in MENA, with the federations who represent over 7,000 professional athletes as our long-term partners.
Every relationship still runs through me directly. That is by design, not by limitation.
Tell us what you are moving and when. We model the currency exposure, review the structure, and tell you if there is a strategy worth running. No fee, no obligation.
In the meantime, if you would like to skip the wait and lock in a time directly, the calendar is open.
