Building an agency from zero

As the founder and owner of FutPro11 Football Agency based in Colombia, Hamed Correa knows firsthand what it takes to build a football agency from the ground up.

Representing a strong roster of talent, FutPro11’s client base includes Mary Alvarez, currently playing for Al Qadsiah in Saudi Arabia, as well as two starting players in the Colombia U20 national team.

Starting from scratch in a competitive global market presents significant challenges when it comes to networking and gaining market access.

Having initially used TransferRoom's Men's Marketplace to establish his agency, Correa experienced first-hand how digital networking can bypass traditional entry barriers.

“TransferRoom has been a very useful tool for me as coming from zero,” said Correa. “I created the company from zero, and TransferRoom has definitely helped me cut corners and be able to network much quicker. So I expect the same thing from the women's market.”

With the women’s game experiencing rapid global expansion, FutPro11 recently made the strategic move to enter the women’s market.

For Correa, applying the proven capabilities of TransferRoom to the women's marketplace is a game-changer for speeding up business operations and learning curves.

“I think the women's game is rapidly advancing,” Correa explained. “I expect the same thing from the women's market. I hope that it allows us to open many doors and helps me accelerate the learning process.”

Rather than navigating traditional barriers to entry, TransferRoom’s new Women’s Marketplace provides agencies with direct access to decision-makers, simplifying global expansion.

Correa believes that being part of TransferRoom's Women's Marketplace gives agencies immediate prestige and recognition.

“I feel that you get a certain respect from clubs when they see you're an agent on the platform,” said Correa.

“You are able to network in a much easier way and access different clubs in different parts of the world. So all of these benefits that TransferRoom gives you are very unique.”

While the women’s football market continues to advance rapidly, it often operates with different resource constraints compared to the men's game. TransferRoom's Women's Marketplace helps bridge that gap by providing a fast, direct, and live platform to connect key decision-makers seamlessly.

“If you don't have the same amount of resources you have in the men's game, then TransferRoom's Women's Marketplace will definitely help connect those two points in a much easier, quicker, live way,” Correa concluded.

“And that's going to be a huge boost for women's football.”
