Young talents

What Young talents does

Young Talents is a Bratislava-based sports marketing and football talent development company operating through two Slovak legal entities. Young talents, s.r.o. (founded 2019) is a FIFA-licensed football player agency owned by Ing. Martin Jurkovič; it represents professional football players internationally and develops young talents with the stated goal of placing them at leading European clubs. Young talents, o.z. (founded 2011 as a civic association) operates the 'Young Talents Football Tournaments Tour,' a series of monthly youth football tournaments for ages U8–U13 held in sports halls and stadiums across Slovakia since 2009, having organized 58 tournaments with approximately 5,800–6,000 child participants by early 2016.

The company monetizes through two streams: (i) agent commissions from player transfer and contract negotiations under the s.r.o. (categorized as licensing/royalties), and (ii) tournament participation and organization fees under the o.z. (categorized as professional services). Service scope for represented players includes career planning, contract negotiation, fitness programming, nutrition coaching, mental training, physiotherapy, and video analysis, delivered through an in-house bench of FIFA licensed agents, a scout, two fitness trainers, a physiotherapist, a sports & health scientist, and an attorney. Marketing channels are primarily direct agent-club relationships, the bilingual website (youngtalents.sk / en.youngtalents.sk), and tournament-based brand visibility.

The business operates at micro-scale with 5 employees (per firmographic data), no disclosed revenue, no external funding, and a customer base consisting of individual represented players and youth teams participating in tournaments. Strategic partners include the Football Agency Network (industry referral), P.J. Servis (long-term tournament supporter), Sport Pro (Adidas distributor), and several sport-science and equipment partners. Revenue predictability is inherently event-driven, dependent on the cadence of player transfers and tournament hosting.
