He hasn't been paid in four months
A player from your old academy signed abroad and the wages stopped. He doesn't know a lawyer, let alone one who knows FIFA's rules.
The football referral network
Turn what you know about football into what you earn.
You follow the game closely. You know people in it — a player, a coach, someone at the academy, an agent. When one of them gets treated badly, you usually hear about it first. Squarepass turns that into a paid introduction to a lawyer who actually does football law. Secure the best representation for your contacts while earning industry-leading referral fees.

You've already heard one of these stories
These aren't rare. They happen at every level of the game, and most of the time the person affected never speaks to a lawyer who understands football's own rules.
The new owner just told him not to come back
A coach two years into a four-year deal, dismissed on a phone call. There is a claim there — someone has to spot it.
The club won't pay the second instalment
An intermediary you've known for years brokered a move and the commission never landed.
Two clubs claim his registration
A teenager at your local club can't play because of a registration fight nobody has untangled.
How you get paid
01
Tell us what you know
Plain questions, no legal jargon. Who's affected, what happened, roughly when. Ten minutes.
02
We assess it instantly
Your referral is checked against football's own rulebook — FIFA, CAS, national bodies — and given a read on where it could go.
03
A specialist picks it up
Real football lawyers, matched by dispute type and jurisdiction, review it and make contact.
04
You get paid
When a lawyer is instructed on your referral, your reward is released. You can track every step.
Who this is for
- Fans and supporters — you follow clubs and players closely, and you hear things long before they're reported.
- People around the game — academy coaches, scouts, physios, kit staff, volunteers at grassroots clubs.
- Anyone with one good contact — a cousin who plays abroad, a friend who agents, a neighbour who coaches. One is enough.
What we're not
Squarepass is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. We take what you know, run a structured preliminary assessment on it, and put it in front of specialists who decide whether there is a case. The person affected always consents before anyone is contacted, and nothing about them is published.
