Raising the bar for football management
Growing up as devoted fans and passionate players, we share love for football, compassion with the hard work of players & coaches and respect for everyone involved in driving and managing the club’s success. We are here to run along with you and bring football into the modern, 21st century era, where it actually belongs.
Our team is fresh, ranging from experienced leaders with years in sports management, travel management and coaching to young enthusiasts who bring tools such as Mailchimp, Slack, Trello and Instagram into football management. Operating remotely, we offer great deal of flexibility and dynamics we felt the football industry had been lacking.
Always on the road and always reachable. That too is life in management agency in football industry and true sportsman would not change it for a thing. We like to be challenged, we work hard, handle things fast. After half a decade as solutions provider to professional football clubs, Jan and his team became a young reliable partner with go-get-it mindset and digital marketing overlap.

“We would like to thank Jan Lokaj and Heart of Europe FC for arranging our pre-season camp at Hotel Remes, Poland the 2017-2018 season. Arrangements prior to the stay and the organization during the camp were great and the pathway of communication first class. Once on site any requirements not previously arranged were quickly sorted and any small issues ironed out. The facilities were very good and the quality of the pitch was outstanding. The Staff were friendly and accommodating and the quality of the food was more than excellent. We look forward to our return there and thanks to Jan, his team and the hotel for making the stay successful.”
