Forwardzone CEO Ashley Kotzin and FIFA licensed agent who heads up our European operations, from our Portugal office – Michael Costa, recently embarked on a trip to Holland as well as Mike passing through Westerlo, Belgium. These travels not only showcase our passion for football but also highlight the power of building a global business.

Kotzin, a visionary leader, has been at the forefront of fostering opportunities for young talents in the football industry. His dedication and proactive commitment to empowering players and honing key club relationships are essential for our group development. By connecting with professionals and organizations in Holland, Ashley continues to expand the Forwardzone network and pave the way for more exciting collaborations.

Michael Costa, a respected FIFA licensed agent, has also been actively involved in this journey with his expertise in talent identification and vast network. Michael has been instrumental in creating opportunities for players to explore new horizons. The trip to Holland allowed Michael to further strengthen his connections and explore potential partnerships, all with the aim of providing the best possible opportunities for our clients.

In addition to their time in Holland, Michael also had the privilege of spending time in Belgium with #TeamFZ client, Rhys Youlley, at KVC Westerlo. This experience allowed Michael to gain insights into the Belgian football landscape and deepen his understanding of the European market, whilst strengthening client relationships. Such experiences are invaluable in shaping a global perspective and opening doors to new opportunities for players and clubs alike.

The power of a global business cannot be underestimated. By expanding our reach and building relationships across different countries, Ashley and Michael are creating a network that transcends borders, enabling the business to provide players with a truly international platform. This not only enhances the players’ careers but also contributes to the growth and development of the football industry as a whole.

It is evident dedication, passion, and a global mindset are key driving forces behind the group’s success. We are excited to see how such travels and collaborations will continue to shape the football industry and empower aspiring players on a global scale, especially those within the Forwardzone stable.
