July 24, 2026\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<\/strong>TMJ\u00a0is\u00a0preparing\u00a0its official entry into the Brazilian women’s football market. Founded in the United States, the company\u00a0represents\u00a0athletes from more than 19 countries and works exclusively with players and professionals\u00a0within the women\u2019s football industry.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In their\u00a0portfolio, there are names such as Luisa Agudelo, the\u00a0[former]\u00a0San Diego Wave and the Colombian national team\u00a0player, the jewel Claudia Mart\u00ednez, of Washington Spirit, and Daniela Arias, ex-Corinthians.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the next few years, the agency intends to expand its operations in Brazil, so far\u00a0consisting of\u00a0intermediation\u00a0services\u00a0in international transfers, and sees the country as a centerpiece in the global development of women’s football. To date, together with partners such as Transfer Soccer and Arts Sports,\u00a0TMJ has\u00a0participated\u00a0in negotiations involving Brazilian players such as the defenders Isa Haas and Mariza, in addition to the striker Aline Gomes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This story\u00a0opens\u00a0a special series\u00a0from\u00a0Lance!<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a0the transfer market in women’s football. Throughout the next publications, agents,\u00a0companies\u00a0and professionals working in the negotiations of athletes will be\u00a0highlighted,\u00a0as well as\u00a0discussing the\u00a0way\u00a0the\u00a0market\u00a0functions, its challenges and the opportunities that drive the growth of the sport.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE START OF TMJ\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The founders Guillermo Zamarripa and Oscar Gonz\u00e1lez met at\u00a0a\u00a0university in New York and went on to work on recruiting athletes to U.S. universities.\u00a0Their contact\u00a0with college football players in the country helped\u00a0pave the way for\u00a0post-college\u00a0career management\u00a0work. The first professional contract negotiated by Zamarripa was that of Mexican striker Charlyn Corral in 2014 when she left the United States to play in\u00a0Europe. From there, other athletes began to look for the agency in search of opportunities in professional football.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe decided to really invest in women\u2019s football. The history of TMJ is a story\u00a0of investment, of believing in the sport\u00a0and of\u00a0being patient,\u201d\u00a0said Guillermo Zamarripa, in an exclusive interview with\u00a0Lance!<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, the agency has about 300 athletes in its portfolio and\u00a0maintains\u00a0a structure formed by 36 professionals who work exclusively with women’s football. According to Zamarripa, specialization is one of the main differentials of the project.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRAZIL ON THE HORIZON\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brazil has been\u00a0part of\u00a0TMJ’s plans for years. The Brazilian Vin\u00edcius Peron, who is part of the project, said that the intention to work in the country also arose during an MBA\u00a0program\u00a0held in the United States, when he met Zamarripa.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe always told me that his dream was to enter Brazil and help Brazilian players have better opportunities. Now we understand that it is the right time for this,\u201d\u00a0[Peron]\u00a0said.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the agency, Brazilian women’s football is still far from reaching its potential in the international market. TMJ expects the country to become the biggest exporter of women’s football talent in the coming years.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe visualize Brazil as the largest exporter of talent in the world. Even if the World Cup\u00a0didn’t\u00a0happen here, our strategy would be the same. We will invest in the market because we believe in it,\u201d\u00a0said Zamarripa.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agency\u2019s assessment is that Brazilian players\u00a0garner\u00a0characteristics that make\u00a0them\u00a0attractive for different markets. According to Zamarripa, leagues such as the\u00a0[NWSL]\u00a0prioritize physical aspects, while Spanish football values technical and tactical issues more. In his view, Brazilian athletes can meet different club profiles, which expands the possibilities of transfer.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The growth of Mexican football\u2019s interest in Brazilians also\u00a0applies. The\u00a0Liga MX Femenil, which in recent years has expanded its investments, has become an increasingly frequent destination for athletes from Brazil.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe\u00a0Liga MX Femenil\u00a0is not just a step in the players\u2019 career. Today it is a very\u00a0well-established\u00a0market, with a calendar\u00a0similar to\u00a0the Brazilian, cultural proximity and financial capacity to pay transfer fees,\u201d\u00a0explained Vin\u00edcius.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WORLD CUP EXPECTED TO ACCELERATE GROWTH OF WOMEN\u2019S FOOTBALL\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plans for the next few months<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TMJ shared\u00a0it has\u00a0also\u00a0finalized\u00a0the details to officially announce the start of its operations in Brazil. The expectation is to formalize the entry into the market in the coming months, although the agency already\u00a0participates\u00a0in negotiations involving Brazilian athletes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In five years, the company\u2019s goal is to\u00a0consolidate\u00a0itself as one of the most impactful agencies in Brazilian women\u2019s football. For this, it intends to work in partnership with clubs,\u00a0athletes,\u00a0and professionals in the market, in addition to investing in long-term planning for the careers of the players.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want to do this in the right way. Being in the market, building relationships and adding our global platform to the growth of Brazilian women\u2019s football,\u201d\u00a0concluded Zamarripa.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
