Approach & Philosophy

Elite 19’s visible strategy looks like a “pathway agency” built around identifying high-upside players early, then engineering club moves that maximize minutes and development, with a particular pipeline through the Paris talent ecosystem. At the top end, it positions senior internationals for high-value cross-border opportunities, including the Middle East, while maintaining a core base in France.


Fees & Transparency

Public fee terms are not disclosed by the agency. In practice, agent compensation is shaped by the applicable regulatory framework: FIFA’s Football Agent Regulations (FFAR) introduced service-fee caps and a “client pays” principle, while implementation has faced court actions and jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction variation, including specific national rules in some countries.


Compliance & Reputation

  • Disciplinary actions / sanctions: No public sanctions identified in the sources reviewed.

  • Litigation / disputes: No widely reported litigation identified in the sources reviewed.

  • Media sentiment: Neutral-to-positive in mainstream coverage, driven mostly by high-profile client moves rather than agency controversies.

  • Corporate status note: French corporate registries and legal notices indicate ELITE 19 SPORT MANAGEMENT (SIREN 879469278) was marked as dissolved (date published in notices). Branding and football-facing activity may continue under a different structure, but that would require confirmation from the agency.


Awards/recognition

  • No major industry awards or formal recognitions clearly documented in public sources reviewed.
