About
More than Sport GmbH is an Austrian player agency headquartered in Bad Vigaun, just south of Salzburg, with over three decades of football experience behind its leadership. The agency focuses on professional footballers across the performance pyramid – from Austrian Bundesliga regulars and Bundesliga players like Patrick Wimmer to prospects in Serie C, the 2. Liga, J2 League and Brazil.
They position themselves as long-term career planners rather than pure transfer brokers, emphasising that players should be able to look in the mirror at the end of their career and feel they did everything possible – supported by a global club network and holistic off-pitch services.

Approach & Philosophy
More than Sport present themselves as a career company rather than a pure transfer shop. Their goal is for clients to maximise their potential and to be able to say, at the end of their career, that they did everything possible, supported by the agency’s experience, know-how and global network.
On the sporting side, they lean on a mix of traditional scouting, personal observation and modern analytics, with public materials emphasising technology, data analysis and human judgement working together. Negotiation-wise, Frank Schreier is known as a direct, experienced negotiator who understands both club and player perspectives and tries to keep relationships constructive in relatively small markets like Austria’s.
Fees & Transparency
More than Sport’s commission structures are aligned with the FIFA Football Agent Regulations, meaning fee caps tied to player salary percentages and clear documentation of payments.
In practice, the agency appears to work primarily on success-based commissions linked to contracts and transfers, with occasional club-side mandates for sourcing or placing players and sponsors, particularly in Austria.
Compliance & Reputation
Disciplinary actions / sanctions:
No public record of disciplinary sanctions or major regulatory actions against More than Sport GmbH or Frank Schreier under the current FIFA Football Agent regime or national FA frameworks
Litigation / disputes:
No widely reported civil litigation or high-profile disputes involving the agency; media coverage tends to focus on the broader role of agents in football rather than specific legal conflicts around More than Sport
Media sentiment:
Generally neutral to cautiously positive. Austrian outlets present Schreier as an experienced but outspoken intermediary, sometimes highlighting tension around agent fees while also framing the agency as a professional and established part of the football ecosystem
Awards/recognition
Stable and recognised presence in the player-agency market
Over 35 years of football experience in the leadership team, with frequent expert commentary in Austrian media on transfer markets and agent regulation
