About
Attacantti Sports Marketing is a São Paulo-based football agency founded in 2006 by Marcelo Mascagni and Marco Antonio Fava Fialdini after a market analysis of the football representation sector.
The company works in career management, representation and planning for footballers, with a visible mix of senior professionals, South American prospects and academy players. Its strongest public case is Igor Julio, the Brighton & Hove Albion defender whose move from Fiorentina to the Premier League gives the agency a clear top-five-league reference point.
The current roster also shows a youth-development lane across Brazil, Ecuador, Bolivia and Venezuela, including players linked to Palmeiras, Corinthians, Independiente del Valle, Bolívar, Caracas, Aucas and NK Maribor.

Approach & Philosophy
Attacantti’s public positioning is built around career planning rather than just transfer brokerage. The agency describes itself through career management, planning and football representation, while its founders’ legal background gives the operation a more advisory-driven profile than many purely scouting-led agencies.
The roster shows two different lanes: senior professional representation, led by Igor Julio and experienced Brazilian players such as Rafa Silva, Ronaldo and Éverton Luiz, and a strong South American youth lane built around players from Ecuador, Bolivia, Venezuela and Brazilian academy football. That makes Attacantti a hybrid agency with both senior-market credibility and a clear development pathway for younger players.
Fees & Transparency
No public commission schedule, dual-representation policy, expense policy or image-rights fee model was found for Attacantti. Publicly, the company is registered in Brazil as a sports advisory and services business.
Under the FIFA Football Agent Regulations framework, football agents must be licensed to perform football-agent services and should work through representation agreements. FIFA’s published FFAR fee-cap model sets maximum service fees at 5% of remuneration up to USD 200,000 and 3% above that level when representing an individual or engaging entity; 10% and 6% in permitted dual representation of player and engaging club; and 10% of transfer compensation when representing the releasing club. Some implementation details have varied by jurisdiction because of litigation and suspensions, so practical fee handling should always be checked against FIFA, CBF and any relevant national association rules for the specific transaction.
Compliance & Reputation
Disciplinary actions / sanctions: No public disciplinary sanction tied directly to Attacantti Sports Marketing, Marcelo Mascagni, Marco Antonio Fava Fialdini or the current listed company surfaced in the reviewed sources.
Litigation / disputes: No meaningful public litigation trail tied directly to Attacantti Sports Marketing surfaced in the reviewed company, agency and player sources. The Brazilian company record shows the company as active.
Media sentiment: Neutral / positive. The public footprint is mostly transactional and profile-driven: Igor Julio’s Premier League move, Johan Martínez’s Newcastle agreement, and youth-player pathway activity across Brazil and South America. I did not surface a broad negative media pattern connected to the agency in the reviewed sources.
