The Problem
International players in MLS earn in USD but live, invest, and support families in euros, reals, pesos, and more. Most don't think about the currency until the money's already moving — and by then, it's too late to protect it.
It's not a bank fee. It's not a commission. It's the exchange rate quietly eating into every dollar you've worked to earn. And unlike most costs in football, it's entirely preventable.
Silent pay cut athletes can take from currency swings alone — without a single contract clause changing.
International MLS players have no FX strategy in place. Converting USD back to home currency through a bank is one of the most expensive mistakes in the game.

What We Do
We look at your USD contract, payment schedule, and where you're sending money home. Then we build a strategy — forward contracts, limit orders, or market timing — that locks in value before the season starts.
We handle transfers from $500K to $5M+ at institutional rates that beat the banks. The difference per dollar doesn't sound like much. Run it across a full MLS contract and it's a very different story.
Currency markets don't stop because you're in pre-season. We monitor rates on your behalf, alert you when it matters, and take the decision-making completely off your plate.
Our weekly newsletter goes to athletes, agents, and associations — real case studies, market movements, and the stuff that actually affects your salary. Plain language. No jargon.
Real Result
Move 1 — Limit order on $900K USD transfer during US election volatility. Triggered automatically when the market spiked.
Move 2 — Forward contract on $1.1M USD locked at 1.5835. By settlement, the live rate had dropped to 1.5107.
Total strategy value — secured with just a 5% deposit on the forward contract.
A professional footballer. A seven-figure USD contract. Two perfectly executed FX moves that turned smart planning into a six-figure win — the kind of result that's available to any international player who plans ahead.
This isn't about guessing the market. It's about eliminating risk and locking in value before conditions change. One limit order, one forward contract. That's it.
Now imagine what this level of planning means across a two-year MLS deal.

Our Credibility

Chris played professionally for Gold Coast United in the A-League before transitioning into foreign exchange. With over 11 years of FX experience and deep ties to the global player community, he built SportsFX to solve a problem he saw firsthand: athletes signing overseas contracts with no plan to protect their earnings from currency risk.
