Helping Your Country’s Athletes Train in the United States

Sports Ministry Services

The success of national team related competition brings a great deal of recognition and honor to the country that world-class athletes represent. National sports ministries and federations are committed to giving their athletes the best opportunities available to train for and win competitions. Often times, athletes from various federations will travel to different places in the world to exchange training techniques and for friendly exhibition competitions. 

Our law firm works with national sports ministries and federations to help athletes obtain access to the United States for training, competition, and activation. It is becoming more difficult to obtain a visitor visa to the United States and more robust solutions are necessary. We assist athletes and teams to obtain P-1 and O-1 visas that come with multi-year validity dates and work authorization. This allows athletes and federations to monetize their exposure in the United States. 

By serving as the immigration sponsor to the athlete, your company can establish a deeper relationship with the athletes, also marketing your products and services more deeply than typical sponsorship arrangements. The sponsorship is a low risk and high reward way for brands to solidify relationships with the world's best athletes.
