OPPORTUNITIES IN RUSSIAN PROFESSIONAL SPORTS
BEA Associates can provide access to Russian professional sports for athletes from the United States through its membership in the Russian professional consulting group PROFSPORT.
Opportunities for non-Russian athletes in Russian professional sports continue to grow, particularly in basketball and hockey. Growing salary levels, low costs of living and increasing professional level of play are attracting higher profile athletes to come to Russia. American players are on the rosters of all of the Russian Super League basketball teams. Robert Holden, a former Bucknell guard, has become a sports celebrity in Russia by leading CSKA to the 2006 European Championship. Other U.S. basketball players, like Duke stars Trajan Langdon and Daniel Ewing have also established their careers in Russian professional basketball. As with competitive teams everywhere in the world, Russian professional sports teams continue to look for talented athletes, coaches and trainers. Professional sports in Russia continue to grow in popularity and in revenues, leading to a continuing search for more and better talent.
The PROFSPORT Group was formed to provide professional and consulting services for Russian athletes. It is led by Vladimir T. Shalaev, attorney, former Vice President of the Russian Professional Hockey League and currently Advisor to the General Director of the Russian sports television station “Sport.” The Group is composed of leading Russian banking, investment, legal, accounting and sports agency companies. Due to the deep ties that PROFSPORT has with Russian professional sports, it can provide clear, transparent and reliable access to the owners and managers of Russian professional sports teams. Any athlete or agent interested in exploring opportunities in Russia should contact us for further information.
