The SBA soccer observer course is aimed at enabling the student to acquire this professionalism composed of several characteristics: observational, public relations and legal techniques, relative to the complex regulations in force at the national and international level. The football observer can collaborate with sports clubs or with players' agents, who very often rely on his valuable referrals to identifying talents.
Real-life case studies and comparisons with FIFA agents ensure that the different case histories the football observer encounters on a daily basis are examined, while also verifying the ways in which they work with Players' Agents and clubs during negotiations.
