FOUNDER AS1 GREECE · PARTNER AND SHAREHOLDER AS1

ProSport and AS1. A shared ambition on a global scale.

The most significant step in my professional journey. The knowledge, relationships and achievements we built in Greece became part of a wider international organisation.

The agreement bringing ProSport into AS1

6 FEBRUARY 2026

The development we planned for.

The acquisition of ProSport by AS1 grew from a strategic plan and a vision developed over many years. The first acquisition of a Greek agency in our sector connected more than two decades of expertise with international scale, technology, data and specialist teams.

AS1 invested in our work and in my belief in the potential of Greek players. With greater resources and access, we can keep improving our services and give Greek football a stronger international presence.
