Our approach combines personal commitment, market knowledge and an international network built through years of experience in professional football.

Every player has a different journey. Our role is to help make the next step the right one.

About AS Sport Elite Consulting

Experience. Relationships. Football.

AS Sport began in 2008 with a simple ambition: to build a professional football agency based on trust, commitment and a genuine understanding of the game.

Founded by Sasho Stefanov and Aleksandar Akaliev, the agency developed through direct relationships with players, clubs and football professionals. Over time, its activities and network expanded across several European markets, supported by professional partnerships and experience in international transfers.

We believe successful representation requires more than identifying a transfer opportunity. It requires understanding the player, recognising the club’s sporting needs, communicating clearly and working towards decisions that support long-term development.

Our history is an important foundation. Our ambition is to keep moving forward.

Our mission

To represent football players professionally, connect talent with the right sporting opportunities and support clubs in identifying players who meet their needs.

Our vision

To strengthen our position as a trusted international football agency, recognised for professionalism, reliability and long-term relationships.

Our values

  • Trust

    Strong professional relationships begin with honesty, discretion and keeping commitments.

  • Professionalism

    We approach every opportunity with preparation, clear communication and respect for the people involved.

  • Personal Commitment

    Every player and club has different needs. We believe in individual attention rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

  • Long-Term Thinking

    We consider how decisions can influence a player’s future, not just the immediate outcome of a transfer.

  • International Cooperation

    We value collaboration with clubs, agents, scouts and other professionals who share our commitment to the game.

  • Ambition

    We continue to seek new opportunities, develop our network and improve the value we bring to our partners.

A Personal Approach to Football

We believe that every successful transfer starts with understanding. We take time to understand a player’s ambitions, a club’s sporting requirements and the circumstances surrounding each opportunity.
