FIFA-Licensed Soccer Agent & Player Representation in the USA
Professional soccer representation for ambitious players who need clear career guidance, contract support and a strategy for the next level. Based in Long Island, New York, Next Play Soccer works with players pursuing opportunities in the United States and internationally.
More Than Finding an Opportunity. Build the Right Career Path.
A soccer agent should help a player understand the market, evaluate the right opportunities and navigate important career decisions. Our player representation approach connects career strategy with the development work players need before, during and after those opportunities.
Career Strategy
Define realistic short- and long-term objectives based on the player's level, position, age, pathway and current situation.
Contract Support
Representation and guidance around professional conversations, agreements and negotiations with clubs.
Club Opportunities
Assess suitable professional pathways, trials and club opportunities rather than pursuing every option without context.
Player Management
Ongoing communication and career planning so decisions fit the player's development and professional goals.
What We Look at Before Representation
Representation starts with evaluation. We want to understand who you are as a player, where you currently compete and what you are trying to achieve. A strong application gives us enough context to assess whether there is a realistic fit.
Team, league, age group and competitive environment.
Primary role, secondary positions, dominant foot and playing characteristics.
Recent highlight footage and, when available, full-match video.
Professional, college, academy or international goals and the timeline behind them.
From Player Evaluation to Representation
The goal is not to promise a contract or trial. It is to understand the player's situation, determine whether representation makes sense and create a professional pathway when there is a fit.
Submit Your Profile
Share your soccer background, current club, position, goals and available video.
Player Evaluation
We review your current context, footage and development needs before discussing representation.
Career Conversation
If there is a potential fit, we discuss objectives, realistic pathways and what the next stage requires.
Representation Strategy
When representation is appropriate, the next steps are defined around the player's career and opportunities.
Professional Player Representation Beyond the Contract
A professional soccer agent can support negotiations and transactions, but effective representation also requires context: knowing the player's level, understanding the sporting project and helping the player evaluate the consequences of each decision.
Contract Negotiation
Support in conversations and negotiations so the player understands the sporting and professional implications of an agreement.
Transfers & Opportunities
Evaluate potential club moves and opportunities in relation to playing time, development, level and career direction.
Trials & Exposure
Help players prepare their profile and assess trial opportunities without presenting any trial or contract as guaranteed.
Long-Term Planning
Career decisions should connect. Representation considers the next opportunity and the player's longer development pathway.

Why FIFA Licensing Matters
Football agent services operate within FIFA's regulatory framework. Players should understand who is representing them, what services are being provided and the terms of any representation agreement before moving forward. For young players and families, representation also requires additional care because rules concerning minors are specific.
Clear Representation
Know who represents you, what the scope of the relationship is and what responsibilities each party has.
Professional Standards
Representation should follow the applicable rules and provide transparent communication around the player's interests.
Written Agreements
Players should understand the duration, services, fees and other relevant terms before signing a representation agreement.
Young Players & Families
Parents should ask questions, verify credentials and understand the specific rules that apply before engaging an agent for a minor.

Soccer Agent FAQs
How do I find a soccer agent in the USA?
Start by looking for a representative whose work fits your level and career objectives. Verify credentials, understand how the agent evaluates players and ask what information is required before representation. A serious process should begin with understanding your playing background and current situation.
What should I send to a soccer agent?
A useful first profile normally includes your age, location, current club and league, position, dominant foot, soccer history, recent video and a clear explanation of what you are looking for. Full-match footage can provide important context beyond a highlight reel.
Can a soccer agent guarantee me a professional trial or contract?
No legitimate evaluation should be presented as a guaranteed professional contract. Opportunities depend on the player's level, timing, club needs, eligibility and many other factors. Representation should help evaluate and pursue appropriate opportunities, not promise an outcome that a club controls.
What does a soccer agent do?
Depending on the representation relationship, a soccer agent may support negotiations, transfers, career planning, club conversations and other activities connected with professional opportunities. The exact services should be clear before the relationship begins.
When should a young soccer player get an agent?
There is no single age that is right for every player. Families should first understand the player's actual pathway and the applicable rules for minors. Credentials and the scope of any proposed representation should be carefully verified before an agreement is signed.
Do you work only with players in New York?
No. Next Play Soccer is based in Long Island, New York, which provides a strong local connection to Nassau and Suffolk County, while representation may involve suitable opportunities elsewhere in the United States or internationally.
