Track Record (last 3 seasons)
Because public agency overviews do not publish a complete deal log with fees for every move, the most defensible track record summary is based on (a) current client distribution and (b) clearly evidenced international placements shown in current player records.
Total transfers completed: Not reliably quantifiable from public sources reviewed for this profile (no complete public deal ledger).
Deals ≥ €10m: No public evidence found in sources reviewed for JSP-linked transfers at that level.
Clients in top-5 leagues: 0 among the Top 30 list at the time of review (clients present in Championship, MLS, Denmark, Germany 2nd tier, and Japan).
National team clients: Not centrally published by JSP; requires player-by-player verification beyond agency pages.
Renewal/extension deals: Not centrally disclosed on public JSP pages reviewed.
Approach & Philosophy
JSP frames its work around broad “support for everyone who loves sport”, emphasising a worldwide network that can serve both elite/pro pathways (player agency) and wider international needs (tours, events, logistics). In football terms, that translates into outbound placements and negotiation support, backed by multi-office coverage outside Japan.
Fees & Transparency
Typical commission ranges: Not published by JSP in sources reviewed.
Dual representation: Not publicly stated by JSP in sources reviewed.
FIFA FFAR baseline (context): FIFA Football Agent Regulations set rules on service fees and representation structures, with jurisdiction-specific practical handling.
Compliance & Reputation
Disciplinary actions / sanctions: No public sanctions identified in the specific sources reviewed for this profile.
Litigation / disputes: No public disputes identified in the specific sources reviewed for this profile.
Media sentiment: Neutral to positive – non-controversial coverage in football bodies and business outlets; no negative reporting tied directly to JSP’s football agency activity identified in reviewed sources.
