Everything off the field, handled
Verde Talent is a full-service sports and talent agency. You focus on the sport; we build and protect everything around it. Below is the full range of what we do for athletes, artists and creators, across the UAE and worldwide.
Representation and contracts
Talent representation
Full-service representation for athletes and entertainers at the elite level. We are in your corner at every stage of your career, from first professional deal to long-term legacy planning. Best for professionals and rising talent who want one team handling the whole picture.
Contract negotiation
We negotiate on your behalf across club deals, endorsements, broadcast rights and beyond, backed by real market data and relationships across every league we work in. The goal is simple: you get what you are worth, on terms that protect you.
Career development
Long-term planning for careers that outlast the spotlight. We think five years ahead so you do not have to, mapping the moves, partners and milestones that build a lasting career rather than a short run.
Legal and compliance
Every agreement reviewed, every clause understood. We coordinate with top legal minds across jurisdictions to protect your interests, your name and every deal with your signature on it.
Brand and commercial
Sponsorship and endorsements
Strategic brand partnerships built around who you are, not just your statistics. We find brands that fit, negotiate the terms, and manage the relationship, so you land deals that fit rather than deals that simply pay.
Image rights management
Your image, your likeness and your name, protected, licensed and monetised correctly. You decide who uses your identity and how, and we make sure the paperwork and the payments reflect that.
Branding
From visual identity to tone of voice, we build the brand that lives beyond the sport and earns in every room you walk into. Ideal for athletes and creators ready to become names, not just competitors.
Name, Image and Likeness (NIL)
We build and protect the value in your personal brand through endorsements, licensing, social and equity, and make sure you keep control of how your name is used. NIL is where modern athletes turn attention into ownership.
Media and content
Social media management and content creation
Dedicated teams that manage your digital presence end to end, covering strategy, content creation, scheduling, analytics and growth. A direct, engaged audience is one of your most valuable assets, and we help you build and keep it.
Production
Documentaries, brand films, content series and press features. We produce the stories that turn public figures into cultural icons and give brands something worth partnering with.
Wealth and legacy
Investment options for athletes
Equity deals, startup stakes and alternative assets. We connect clients to opportunities that build wealth beyond the cheque, so the money made during a career keeps working long after it.
Creation of foundations
We structure and launch charitable foundations that amplify your platform, protect income intelligently and leave a lasting legacy in the causes you care about.
Charity and community involvement
Authentic connections to causes that matter to you. We build the relationships and handle the logistics, so you lead the impact and the community feels it.
Who we work with
We represent talent across tennis, cycling, soccer, combat sports and basketball, along with artists, creators and entertainment figures. You can see the athletes and talent we represent on our roster, and read our thinking on the business of sport on the Verde desk.
What services does a sports agency provide?
A full-service sports agency handles the business of an athlete's career: contract negotiation, sponsorship and endorsements, brand and NIL strategy, image rights, media and content, legal and compliance, financial planning and long-term career management, so the athlete can focus on competing.
How does athlete representation work at Verde?
We start with the person, not just the player, then build a plan across contracts, brand, media and money. Because we keep a small, selective roster, each client gets the full agency behind them at every stage of their career.
How do sponsorship and endorsement deals work?
We identify brands that genuinely fit the athlete, negotiate the fee and deliverables, structure the contract and image rights, and manage the activation, so both the athlete and the brand see a real return rather than a one-off payment.
What is NIL and how does Verde help?
NIL stands for Name, Image and Likeness, an athlete's right to earn from their own identity. Verde builds and protects that value through endorsements, licensing, social media and equity deals, and makes sure the athlete controls how their name is used.
Does Verde offer financial and investment support?
Yes. Alongside representation we help clients plan for life after sport through wealth planning, equity and investment opportunities, foundations and long-term structuring, so the money made during a career keeps working afterwards.
