#27 : Mexican Football Agents Landscape ...

The Agents Angle
About this episode

Mexican football has a huge following with the excitement of Liga MX and Liga MX Femenil, but what is the landscape like for football agents operating in Mexico? 'The Agents Angle' is joined by FIFA Licensed Football Agent and Sports Lawyer María García Cornejo Alvarez to share her knowledge and experiences from the Mexican Football World.

There is a look at an unsavoury incident, whereby a prominent name from the football agency world has reported being subject to prejudice and racism by a club, and we look at what repercussions this may bring for the club in question.

Plus, we ask the question - Are There Too Many, or Too Few Football Agents to adequately support the football world around the globe? - with one nation seemingly reporting a 20% increase (150) in domestically licensed football agents in just 12 days!
