Approach & Philosophy
Websoccer frames itself as a career-management agency, not just a deal-maker. The strategy is to craft multi-step pathways from Brazilian base clubs to intermediate leagues – notably in the UAE, Bulgaria, Greece, Israel and Ukraine – where players can play early, develop and then be positioned for larger opportunities. The roster is intentionally heavy on U23 profiles, especially from elite Brazilian academies, plus targeted recruits from Venezuela and Bolivia.
The agency leans on video analysis, live scouting and a close network of coaches and analysts while keeping a personal, “family-style” relationship with clients. In negotiations, Websoccer is comfortable handling cross-continental moves and regulatory complexity, focusing on placing players where they will actually feature, rather than sitting deep on benches in over-stacked squads.
Fees & Transparency
Websoccer does not publish a public fee schedule. In practice, its fee structures appear to follow the 2023 FIFA Football Agent Regulations and the usual Brazilian and European market norms, with commissions typically in the low-single-digit percentage range of a player’s guaranteed remuneration for club-mandated deals and rising up to around 10 % where they act solely for the player, subject to regulatory caps.
Compliance & Reputation
Disciplinary actions / sanctions: No known disciplinary actions or sanctions published against Websoccer or its licensed agents.
Litigation / disputes: No major legal disputes or transfer-related cases involving Websoccer are widely reported.
Media sentiment: Overall positive to neutral – portrayed as an ambitious, development-focused agency helping young Brazilian and South American players establish themselves abroad, with coverage around titles and milestones for clients like Renan, Kervin Andrade and Breno.
Awards / Recognition
No formal agency-level awards publicly recorded.
Recognition comes mainly through client achievements, including:
League titles in the UAE Pro League with Shabab Al Ahli
International debuts and tournament selections for national teams such as Bolivia and Venezuela at senior and youth levels.
