A road of more than ten years.

The Standard Value IP is transferred to FIFA. Standard Football is authorized to provide professional services based on the framework.
What was built, and who holds what.
The Standard Value methodology and its review.
The intellectual property of the methodology, to FIFA.

How we stay a reference.
- No brokerage, no signing recommendations, no positions held in players or clubs.
- Methodology changes are versioned and announced in advance.
- Client data is segregated and never feeds published values.
- No third-party value estimates are used as inputs.
- Limits are stated, not implied.
- Standard values are reference opinions. They are not investment advice or fairness opinions.
Four disciplines, one team.
Supported by an analytical bench of 150+ through OpenEconomics.
