WHERE GLOBAL STANDARDS MEET LOCAL EXPERTISE ・
Across the Americas, every market operates differently.
Deportivo Management was created to unify that complexity—serving as the company behind cross-border operations and event delivery for sports organizations throughout the region.
Team Conexión is the operating platform through which we deliver that work, supporting clubs, leagues, tournaments, and federations with charters, international operations, and event development.
With nearly 20 years managing international events for Major League Baseball—including the All-Star Game, World Series, World Baseball Classic—and supporting major global tournaments like the FIFA Club World Cup, we bring world-class standards and detail-driven execution to every project.
Our bilingual, locally informed model ensures every charter movement, international operation, and event initiative is delivered efficiently, safely, and consistently—creating a seamless, high-quality experience for athletes, staff, guests, and VIPs.
Our Services
Our Pillars of Operational Excellence
-
With direct relationships across more than 100 commercial and private carriers throughout the Americas, We deliver customized charter solutions tailored to each team’s unique requirements. Our network spans from full-size team aircraft to light and mid-size private jets available for individual or player travel, all coordinated with a focus on safety, transparent pricing, and clear communication at every stage.
Drawing on league-level experience with Major League Baseball—including work with the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, and Los Angeles Dodgers during international series in London, Tokyo, and throughout Latin America—we understand that every movement requires precision, trust, and adaptability.
Whether supporting a federation’s World Cup qualifier or managing a club’s preseason tour, we oversee every detail—from aircraft sourcing to on-site coordination—to ensure a seamless travel experience that meets global standards with local expertise.
Key Focus Areas
Private & Commercial Charter Sourcing — including light and mid-size jets for individual or player travel.
Crew & Airport Coordination — screening, FBOs, immigration, customs, and ground handling.
In-Flight Service Customization & Catering — tailored menus, branding opportunities, and special requests.
Bilingual On-Site Representatives (English / Spanish) — operational support at departure, arrival, and in transit.
Transparent Advisory — providing clear comparisons, pros and cons, and informed guidance for every charter option presented.
Beyond Sourcing
We believe that sourcing the aircraft is only the beginning. The servicing is just as important—if not more.

About Andres Betancur &
Deportivo Management
A Personal Approach to Global Operations
I founded Deportivo Management after nearly two decades managing international events for Major League Baseball and supporting global tournaments such as the FIFA Club World Cup.
From London to Tokyo, Havana to Sydney, I’ve helped deliver some of the most complex sporting events in the world—including multiple MLB All-Star Games and World Series—experiences that taught me how to bring calm, precision, and collaboration to high-stakes environments.
Today, I split my time between New York City and Medellín, Colombia, working hands-on with teams, leagues, tournaments and federations to simplify the realities of operating across borders. I believe every project—regardless of size or budget—deserves the same standard of care and professionalism that global events demand.
Deportivo Management reflects that belief: a trusted network delivering charters, international event operations, and event development throughout the Americas, supported by bilingual specialists and locally informed partners across the region.
