Certainty in football: prepared for every scenario

In professional football, injuries, transfers, and contract negotiations can be worth millions of euros. A single unlucky move on the field can not only ruin sporting ambitions but also have significant financial consequences for both the player and the club. This is why it is essential that insurance decisions are made quickly, accurately, and knowledgeably.

The pace of the sport demands immediate action 

Football is a dynamic game: everything can change within seconds. Consider a player getting injured during training just before an important transfer, or an unexpected fall that sidelines him for months. 
In such situations, clubs, agents, and players need immediate clarity: what risks are covered, what steps need to be taken, and how can further damage be limited? 

A well-organized sports insurance prevents costly delays. The faster the right coverage is confirmed, the lower the chance of financial and contractual problems. 

Complex challenges call for specialized solutions 

Insuring top athletes goes far beyond a standard policy. There are specific factors to consider, such as: 

  • Transfer fees that need to be insured against sporting or medical risks
  • Salary guarantees in the event of long-term injuries
  • Protection of investments for clubs and sponsors
  • International coverage, as players are often active across borders 

This complexity demands knowledge of the sports world, an understanding of the insurance market, and experience in handling the unique risks faced by players, clubs, and agents. 

Strong through collaboration 

At Van Dessel Insurance Brokers, we work together with Wannet Insurance, a specialist firmly rooted in the sports world. While Wannet has understood the daily reality of clubs and players from the inside out for 30 years, we ensure the translation into insurance solutions that stand up legally, financially, and practically. 

This partnership combines the best of both worlds: the sporting expertise of Wannet and the broad insurance and risk management experience of Van Dessel. This way, we can provide players, clubs, and agents with fast, effective, and tailor-made solutions that truly work in practice. 

Tailor-made for player and club

Whether it’s insuring a promising young player, covering a valuable contract, or protecting a club from the financial consequences of a severe injury: together with Wannet, we ensure that everyone involved can take the field with confidence.
