About us
Upfields is more than a traditional player agency. Founded by lawyers with experience in the legal departments of top European clubs and complemented by the perspective of a former footballer, we combine legal and practical expertise with an outstanding network. This combination allows us to understand professional sports from legal, structural, and sporting perspectives. As a result, we can act faster, more precisely, and more independently in the dynamic world of sports – especially during the crucial moments of your career.
Career & Strategy
Individual career planning from your first professional contract to the time after your active career. Together with you, we develop a clear strategy – tailored to your sporting and personal goals, for maximum success.
Law & Contracts
Legal advice that goes beyond the scope of a traditional player agency can be provided directly through our founders' law firms. This allows us to combine sporting, strategic, and legal expertise in a way that goes far beyond mere player placement.
Transfer & Network
Access to an international network of clubs, coaches, sporting directors, and decision-makers. We offer professional support in conducting transfers and contract negotiations – always with the goal of achieving the best possible sporting and financial solution for you.
