When Bruno Costa joined Brazil’s Fortaleza Esporte Clube as Sporting Director, his first move was clear - get the club on TransferRoom. With direct access to decision-makers at over 800 clubs, real-time market intelligence and exclusive networking opportunities, football’s only marketplace was essential for a club on the rise. “It was easy to show the President and CEO how important the platform is,” Costa says. Within weeks, Costa, who previously used TransferRoom as Director of Scouting & Player Recruitment at San Jose Earthquakes in Major League Soccer, had brought Fortaleza on to the platform.
Since joining, Fortaleza has expanded its international reach, gaining visibility in global markets and streamlining player recruitment. The club, which made history by reaching the Copa Sudamericana final in 2023, now leverages TransferRoom’s insights and direct club connections to accelerate transfers.
Attending TransferRoom Summits has further strengthened Fortaleza’s position. “We’ve closed deals before, and I’m confident we’ll bring great opportunities to the club [at future events],” Costa adds.
