Company mission
To empower football clubs, agents and players to be successful in the transfer market by giving them real-time market intelligence and direct access to a global network of decision makers.
Our take
The football industry has long been lucrative, but its transfer market was plagued by inefficiencies. Clubs were overpaying for players, communication was secretive, and there was uncertainty about player availability, leading to missed opportunities for clubs in need. networking and agents played crucial roles, yet no effective solution had emerged.
Until "matchmaker" TransferRoom was founded in 2016, an online marketplace connecting clubs with available players for transfer or loan. Founder Jonas Ankersen recognised the outdated nature of the transfer market and aimed to modernise it through TransferRoom, facilitating easier and more transparent transactions for clubs.
While it may not be the go-to platform for big-spending English clubs, TransferRoom has facilitated thousands of deals and partnered with over 650 clubs globally, solidifying its position as a vital player in the football transfer market.
