Lagom Sports Compliance

About Lagom Sports Compliance

Lagom Sports Compliance is a specialist governance, risk, compliance and anti-financial crime advisory firm built for professional football. The regulatory environment surrounding the game has changed fundamentally. The Independent Football Regulator is operational under the Football Governance Act 2025, with licensing and ownership oversight powers across the top five tiers of English men's football. The IFR's Owners, Directors and Senior Executives regime has been live since May 2026. Every regulated club must hold an operating licence to compete from the 2027/28 season. Simultaneously, EU Regulation 2024/1624 brings professional football clubs and agents formally inside the AML perimeter from 10 July 2029. UEFA's 2025 Club Licensing Regulations and bank de-risking pressure are raising the bar further still. Most clubs and agencies are not ready for any of it. Generic compliance advice does not work in football. The risks are specific to the sport: complex ownership structures, transfer mechanics, agent commission flows and high-value sponsorship arrangements require controls built from the ground up by people who understand how football's money actually moves. Lagom means "just right" in Swedish. It is a deliberate statement about what compliance in professional football should look like: frameworks calibrated to real risk, defensible to regulators, banks and boards, without over-engineering that the sport will reject. We work with professional clubs, agents and agencies, leagues and federations, banks, law firms and sponsors across the UK, EU and Latin America.
