“We need sponsors.”
Maybe. But if brands do not clearly understand what they are buying into, more outreach will not fix the problem.
Independent Football Strategic Advisory
The problem you can see is not always the problem you need to solve.
A club says it needs sponsors.
An agent says clubs are not responding.
A player wants more visibility.
An investor wants introductions.
Majlis works out what is actually blocking the outcome, before time, money and relationships are spent fixing the wrong thing.
Discuss Your Situation
Private first conversation. We diagnose before we scope.
When People Come to Majlis
The first request is often not the real problem.
“Clubs are not responding.”
More contacts may not be the answer. The issue may be the player, the positioning, the target list, the timing or the way the approach is being made.
“I need more visibility.”
More exposure does not automatically create more value. The market first needs to understand what you should be known for.
“We need access to the GCC.”
An introduction is only useful when the timing, context and proposition are right. The wrong approach can close the door before the conversation begins.
Before we recommend an action, we work out what is actually stopping the result.

When Majlis Makes Sense
Usually, something important is already at stake.
Club / Ownership
A commercial, reputational or strategic issue is affecting the next decision.
Agent / Agency
Players are not moving, the market is not responding or the business needs a clearer way to grow.
Player / Coach / Football Executive
The next move depends on how the market understands your value, not only on your track record.
Investor / Market Entrant
You see an opportunity in football or a new market, but need context before committing relationships, capital or reputation.
If the problem is clear and the answer is obvious, you probably do not need Majlis.
If the consequences matter and the answer is not obvious, that is usually where we become useful.
What Happens Next

Start with the situation, the objective and what is currently not working.
We diagnose before we scope
We look at what is really driving the problem and whether Majlis is the right fit.
We recommend the next move
If there is a clear role for Majlis, we define the scope around the problem. If there is not, we tell you.
Scope follows the problem, not the other way around.
Discuss Your SituationPrivate first conversation. No obligation. No pre-selected package.
Why Majlis
You are not hiring another layer of execution. You are hiring judgement.
Majlis is deliberately founder-led. The person you speak to is the person thinking through the problem.
Football-specific thinking
We work from the realities of football: clubs, agents, players, executives, reputation, commercial value, market entry and the decisions around them.
Published intellectual property
The Transfer Window Playbook turns Majlis thinking into a practical framework for agents navigating positioning, targeting, outreach, follow-up and decision-making during the window.
Europe + GCC context
Majlis is based in Dubai, with European relationships and direct exposure to the business and relationship dynamics of the GCC.
Independent perspective
We are not inside the client's politics and we are not paid to recommend execution for the sake of execution. If Majlis is not the right answer, we say so.
No manufactured scale. No invented case studies. Credibility has to be earned through the work.

Founder
Andreia Pinto
Founder & Senior Strategic Adviser, Majlis Consultancy
My work starts with listening for the part of the problem that is not being said.
Before Majlis, my background moved through journalism, strategic communication, marketing, brand development, sponsorship and international business environments.
That combination taught me something useful: the visible request is often only the surface of the decision.
I work directly with clients because strategic advisory depends on context, discretion and judgement. There is no hand-off to a junior account team once the conversation becomes important.
Direct access. Independent judgement. Absolute discretion.
