Speed. Skill. Discipline. Stories that inspire.
But behind every performance, there is something less visible — and far more decisive in today’s economy: the ability to capture value.

Today, a significant portion of the value generated by sports talent is not captured locally.

It is lost through fragmented systems, opaque intermediations, or simply the absence of structures that transform talent into sustainable assets.

And while talent continues to grow,
the infrastructure needed to manage and scale it is not evolving at the same pace.

The real problem is not talent

There is no shortage of players.
There is no shortage of clubs.
There is no shortage of opportunities.

What is missing is something deeper: models that integrate technology, data, and intellectual property as a system.

In the digital economy, value is no longer driven by exposure alone.

It is built through the assets surrounding talent:

• performance data
• digital identity
• image rights
• content
• community
• intellectual property

If these assets are not properly designed, protected, and managed,
their value is captured by others.

From sports industry to value systems

Sports is no longer just about competition.

It is a global industry at the intersection of:

• technology
• digital platforms
• entertainment
• intellectual property
• scalable business models

In this context, the countries and organizations that succeed will be those that are able to structure these systems effectively.

Latin America: a strategic opportunity

Latin America has a powerful advantage: globally competitive talent.

But it also faces a critical challenge: much of the value is created locally… but captured elsewhere.

This is not a talent issue. It is a design issue.

What does it mean to design value today?

It means shifting from a reactive to a strategic approach:

• not only developing players, but building assets
• not only competing, but structuring ecosystems
• not only participating in markets, but designing them

A multi-stakeholder approach

This transformation does not happen in isolation.

It requires coordination across:

• public sector
• federations and clubs
• academies
• technology platforms
• investors
• brands

Value is built through networks.

The future of sports

The future of sports is not just about competing.

It is about designing, protecting, and scaling intangible assets.

This requires a new layer of work:

digital infrastructure + data + intellectual property + business models

Today, we are exploring pilot initiatives and collaborations to help sports ecosystems capture more of the value they already generate.

Because the talent already exists. What’s missing is the system.
