Documentation.

The creation of essential registration documents to enable professional football clubs to register players is complex, time-consuming, high-risk and repetitive. Multi-million pound transfer agreements, player contracts and registration forms are created by clubs each time a player contract is registered with the regulatory body. For international transfers the process is more complex due to cross-border restrictions, solidarity and language complications.

clubdna automates these manual processes creating club-specific documents that are designed to ensure fast, efficient and cost-effective document creation. Compliant and robust templates are continually updated by our legal partners to provide better protection

Negotiation.

Football player trading is high value and time-critical. Negotiation of these business transactions are one of the most important and expensive tasks of a football executive. The success or failure of negotiating transfer fees, loan fees, player contracts and intermediary agreements are critical to the success and failure of football clubs – both on and off the pitch.

clubdna allows key executives involved in the negotiation process to communicate internally and externally in real-time with essential information accessible that can be shared within the negotiating team. For owners, directors and other executives, clubdna will provide remote visibility on negotiations and progress on transactions. The ability of key personnel to communicate securely and instantly provides a significant advantage and assists executives to make better decisions.
Registering a player is only the start of the journey. Monitoring and managing player contracts, match eligibility, squad management, succession planning, financial reporting, and player trading are essential off-the field operational processes to ensure that the most important business assets are managed effectively.

clubdna makes player administration easier for professional football clubs. Staff can access player data in one secure location and real-time reporting allows key decision-makers to maintain control of information. Player trading decisions at every level can impact future profitability and funding requirements. clubdna is the ultimate football administration tool that provides modern solutions to the day-to-day complex challenges.
